In a recent development within the Tipra Motha Party, MLA Ranjit Debbarma made a bold statement claiming that the party would withdraw their support from the ruling BJP in Tripura if their demands were not met. These demands include the implementation of Ministry of Home Affairs directives against illegal Bangladeshis, the introduction of the 125th Amendment, and the fulfillment of the Tiprasa Accord.
However, the founder of the party, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, quickly downplayed the threat made by the legislator. He stated that Ranjit’s statement was made out of frustration and that he would speak to the MLA to address the issue.
Pradyot emphasized the importance of meeting the demands of the indigenous people in Tripura, who are feeling increasingly insecure in their villages due to the influx of people crossing the border from Bangladesh. He highlighted the need to solve this sentiment for the benefit of Tripura and its indigenous population.
The founder also mentioned that he had been in touch with Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha, who has assured him of resolving the issue and honoring the Tiprasa Accord. Additionally, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has given them time to meet this month, providing an opportunity to discuss and potentially address the concerns raised by the party.
Overall, the rift within the Tipra Motha Party seems to stem from the frustrations and insecurities felt by the indigenous population in Tripura. Pradyot’s efforts to address these concerns and work towards a resolution with the ruling BJP and other stakeholders indicate a commitment to finding a suitable solution for all parties involved.
