While addressing a&nbsp;design workshop on handlooms in Agartala on Thursday, the newly-appointed chief minister claimed that former Miss World Diana Haydon lacks Goddess like quality and is not an Indian beauty.&nbsp;

He said Indian beauty should have the characteristics of Lakshmi and Saraswati, Goddesses of wealth and education. According to Deb, Hayden lacked those 'traits'.&nbsp; 
 
“Koi&nbsp;bhi&nbsp;aata&nbsp;hain&nbsp;to mil&nbsp;jata&nbsp;hain. Diana Hayden ko&nbsp;bhi&nbsp;mil&nbsp;jata&nbsp;hain&nbsp;(Anyone who enters beauty contests, gets a crown. Even Diana Hayden got it),” he said.&nbsp;
