AGARTALA: TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot Kishore Debbarman on Friday warned a section of his party supporters and gave a clear message that those who were trying to use the party platform for their personal agenda had all the reasons to worry about.

Addressing a public meeting at Barkathal, around 20 kilometers away from Agartala, Debbarman said, โ€œStop selling yourself for money and fame. TIPRA motha is not formed for these purposes. This party has a bigger role to play for the upliftment of the indigenous societyโ€.

Launching a scathing attack on the ruling BJP, Debbarman said, โ€œIf elections can happen in UP, Punjab and other states what is wrong with our village committees. There is a perception in their mind: if Tiprasa does not get money for development, then only they shall vote for BJP.โ€

โ€œWe Tiprasa may not have money, but we are not beggars. I want to urge you all to get united for the last fight. In the next 10 to 12 months we are going to script a new history in Tripura,โ€ he added.

Slamming a section of leaders of his own party, he said, โ€œThere is no room for opportunists. In TIPRA motha that has been formed for the sole purpose of Greater Tipraland canโ€™t compromise for personal interest for a handful of people. For them, I want to say, donโ€™t betray your own people for the post and moneyโ€.

He made a clarion call to each and every community of the indigenous society to get united for the fight of Greater Tipraland.

โ€œDonโ€™t get divided by falling to the ploy. Debbarma, Jamatia, Molsom all are one. We need to showcase our unity and thus our goal of Greater Tipraland will be reachedโ€, said Debbarman.

Thousands of Tipra Motha supporters gathered in the rally. Sources in the party said, Debbarman will address a series of rallies across the TTAADC areas to press for the demand of Village Committee elections.
