He alleged that the BJP tried to persuade him to enter into an alliance with it by offering him money, power, posts and many other things.
“I will not compromise or betray the indigenous people just to win the elections and walk in the power corridor. We know our demand is legal and constitutional, the central government has to solve the problem of indigenous communities, which they have been facing for decades,” Pradyot asserted.
He said that the TIPRA would announce its candidates in at least 50 assembly constituencies that go to polls for Tripura assembly elections.
Debbarma said that the TIPRA will release its candidate’s list soon.
