A day after the results of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections, Tipra Motha Party founder Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma on Saturday said the people have delivered their verdict, crediting the outcome to the party’s consistent stand on indigenous rights and its refusal to compromise on key issues.

He made the remarks after meeting Tripura Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu, where he sought the commencement of the constitutional process related to the formation of the TTAADC administration.

The Tipra Motha Party secured a decisive victory, winning 24 of the 28 seats in the council elections.

The delegation that met the Governor included the outgoing Chief Executive Member (CEM) Purna Chandra, who submitted his resignation, along with Tripura Minister Brishaketu Debbarma. Newly elected MDCs Runiel Debbarma and C.K. Jamatia were also present.

Speaking outside Raj Bhavan, Pradyot said the Governor, being the constitutional custodian of the ADC, would now initiate the formal procedures and issue the necessary notification.

He added that once the notification is issued, the party would abide by all rules and procedures for the formation of the new council administration.

Pradyot emphasized that the focus should not be on positions such as CEM or Executive Members, but on serving the people who have supported them and safeguarding their rights.

He further stated that the electoral mandate clearly reflects the people’s choice. According to him, the party’s commitment to future generations and indigenous rights, without compromise, has been rewarded by voters.

Expressing his views on state politics, Pradyot said there are many well-meaning leaders within the BJP, but alleged that a few individuals were misleading Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha.

He also pointed to what he described as the influence of certain leaders who previously came from the CPI(M) and joined the BJP after 2018, claiming they have misled the party’s direction.

Pradyot remarked that voters are aware of ground realities and can distinguish between those working for rights and those using coercive tactics in politics.

Concluding his statement, he said the election process is over and urged a shift in political approach, warning that future generations would not accept politics based on pressure or misuse of power, not only in Tripura but across the region and the country.
