Ready To Stay Out Of Power In Tripura If Promises Not Fulfilled: TMP Supremo Pradyot Debbarma

AGARTALA: Tipra Motha Party (TMP) supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma has issued a stern warning, stating that the party is prepared to step out of power in Tripura if the promises made to them are not fulfilled.

The TMP, which contested the 2023 assembly elections independently and secured 13 seats, later joined the BJP-led coalition government just ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

In a video posted on Facebook to mark the party’s foundation day on Wednesday, Debbarma expressed his discontent over the unfulfilled promises, reiterating that the party’s demands were not against the nation but aimed at safeguarding the rights of Indigenous people.

“We sought rights for security, land, education, identity, direct funding for the Tripura Autonomous District Council (TADC), and the protection of our culture. These demands are not harmful to the country, but it feels like we are being betrayed,” he said.

“If we are not given the rights we were promised, we are willing to step out of power. There is no purpose in holding power if we cannot serve our people. Politics is not our priority; ensuring the rights of our people is,” he stated firmly.

“While Bangladesh is becoming more aligned with Pakistan, we are failing to secure the rights of our indigenous people here in Tripura. If insurgency returns, who will be accountable?” he said.
