Founder of Tipra Motha Party, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma today emphasized the need to prioritize youth, healthcare, education, and opportunities to ensure the progress of both the state and the nation.

His remarks came after attending the swearing-in ceremony of newly elected Members of the District Council (MDCs) of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council. A total of 24 MDCs from Tipra Motha took oath, administered by Law Secretary Shankari Das, while four MDCs from the Bharatiya Janata Party boycotted the event.

Pradyot highlighted the need for systemic reform, stating that development requires not only administrative changes but also a shift in mindset. He stressed that without focusing on critical sectors like youth empowerment, healthcare, and education, society as a whole would face setbacks.

Reflecting on the past five years, he noted his efforts to introduce reforms and bring fresh ideas into governance. He advocated for a more inclusive approach by involving professionals beyond politics—such as former IAS officers, members of the judiciary, students, and contributors from art and culture—to design better solutions in areas like drinking water, healthcare, education, and entrepreneurship.

He also appealed to the Government of India, stating that the development of Tripura is closely tied to the progress of TTAADC. With elections now concluded, he urged all stakeholders to work collectively toward the development and welfare of the people in the autonomous district.
