Tipra Motha Party founder Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma has expressed confidence that his party is on course to secure a strong mandate in the upcoming Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council elections, claiming it could win 24 out of 28 seats.
He said indigenous communities are united and expected to vote for Tipra Motha in the polls scheduled for April 12.
Speaking on the final day of campaigning on Friday, Pradyot addressed multiple rallies, emphasizing that the campaign was focused on safeguarding the rights and future of the indigenous people. He stated that this election was about ensuring justice and opportunities for the next generation.
In his remarks, he said that before the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct, he wanted to deliver a final message to the people. According to him, promises made during past agreements regarding the rights of “Tiprasa” people were not fulfilled, and he alleged that he was pressured to compromise in recent years, which he refused to do.
Pradyot reiterated that his goal is not personal gain but the welfare of his community, adding that the indigenous population has now made up its mind for the upcoming vote on April 12.
He further urged voters to support Tipra Motha, warning against splitting votes among other parties such as IPFT, CPI(M), and BJP. He claimed that voting for IPFT would indirectly benefit the BJP, and encouraged unity under the idea of “Thansa” for collective strength and representation. According to him, only through unified support can the community’s voice be effectively raised and their future secured.
