Tripura CM Biplab Deb Has A Bizarre Theory Of How To Increase Oxygen Levels In Water Bodies

Looks like social media cannot have enough of Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb. The Bharatiya Janata party leader who has already made several arbitrary and bizarre remarks in the past, is at it again. This time he has landed himself into controversy by claiming that ducks can increase oxygen levels in water bodies by swimming in them.

Addressing the crowd at a boat race event at Rudrasagar, Biplab claimed that aquatic birds recycle water when they swim, thus raising the oxygen level in water bodies. "When ducks swim in water, the oxygen level automatically increases in the water body. This rise in oxygen, in turn, makes the fish population increase," claimed Biplab

According to Deb, the benefits of duck rearing do not end there. He also claimed that children would greatly benefit from additional protein and vitamin supplements if every family in the area kept at least five ducks.

This is not the first time Deb has made a controversial statement. Earlier in April, he alleged that the internet existed even in the days of Mahabharat. He also claimed that Rabindranath Tagore "gave away his Nobel Prize" in protest against the British.

Looks like Tripura CM is about to become Internet's favourite meme material, yet again.
