Newly-elected Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb's statements are getting stranger by the minute.&nbsp;

He has before this said the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/internet-and-satellite-existed-since-mahabharata-era-claims-tripura-cm-131112">internet and satellite communication existed in the times of the&nbsp;Mahabharata.&nbsp;</a>

<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/after-a-string-of-bizarre-remarks-pm-modi-calls-tripura-cm-to-new-delhi-133665?first_load=no">Deb has been summoned to Delhi tomorrow by Prime Minister Narendra Modi</a> because of his many strange utterings. BJP President Amit Shah will also be present.&nbsp;

Deb is expected to get an earful.&nbsp;

But that has not stopped him for a second.&nbsp;

On Tuesday, Deb offered up yet another gem.

This time, he used the analogy of a farmer bringing a vegetable to the market.

At 8 am, said Deb, the vegetable is okay. But so many people poke their nails into it, he then added, that by 9 am it is not fit to eat.&nbsp;

Then, hittting a much more strident note, he added that nothing of the sort will be allowed to happen with his government.&nbsp;

And that anyone "fingering" his government should have their nails chopped off.&nbsp;

"Mere sarkaar mein aisa nahin hona chahiye ki koi bhi usme ungli maar de, nakhoon laga de. Jinhone nakhoon lagaya, uska nakhoon kaat lena chahiye," said Deb.&nbsp;

Watch: Tripura CM now says, 'Anyone fingering my govt, his nails should be chopped off'

Chief Minister of Tripura, Biplab Deb is at it again. After <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/internet-and-satellite-existed-since-mahabharata-era-claims-tripura-cm-131112">claiming that internet existed during the days of Mahabharata</a>, he has now claimed that former Miss World Diana Haydon lacks Goddess like quality and is not an Indian beauty.&nbsp; 
 
Deb was at a design workshop on handlooms in Agartala on Thursday when he said Indian beauty should have the characteristics of Lakshmi and Saraswati, Goddesses of wealth and education. According to Deb, Haydon lacked those 'traits'.&nbsp; 
 
“Koi bhi aata hain to mil jata hain. Diana Hayden ko bhi mil jata hain (Anyone who enters beauty contests, gets a crown. Even Diana Hayden got it),” he said.&nbsp; 
 
Deb, however, was full praises for Aishwarya Rai, who according to him 'represented Indian women'.&nbsp; 
 
Aishwarya was crowned Miss World in 1994 and Diana won the title in 1999.&nbsp; 
 
“Indian women did not use cosmetics in the old times. Indians did not use shampoo, they washed their hair with methi water and bathed with mud. These beauty pageant organisers are international marketing mafia, who spotted a huge market in the country. Today, there is a beauty parlour in every corner of the country,” he said. 
 
Deb's comments came days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi cautioned the BJP leaders to steer clear of controversies and not offer "masala" to the media by making irresponsible statements. 
 
The Tripura chief minister also claimed that the international beauty contests were a farce as the results were all predetermined. 
 
"Whoever contested the international beauty pageants won. For five consecutive years, we won the Miss World/Miss Universe awards. Diana Hayden won it too. Do you think she should have won the title?" Deb said. 
 
He said he failed to understand the "process of judgement" of the crowning of the Miss World contest in 1997, in which Diana Hayden had got the award. 
 
"We see women as goddess Laxmi, Saraswati. Aishwarya Rai represents the Indian women. She became the Miss World and that's all right. But I do not understand the beauty of Diana Hayden," Deb, who became the chief minister last month, said. 
 
"Why are there no more beauty pageant winners from India? They (the jury) have captured the market in the country and have gone elsewhere," he claimed. 
 
Earlier this month, Deb had claimed that Internet and satellite communication existed in the days of Mahabharata.&nbsp; 
 
Deb's comments did not go down well on Twitter as many slammed the Tripura CM &nbsp;for his remarks.&nbsp; 
 
Activist Kavita Krishnan termed his comments as "stupid, sexist and communal".
