Debbarma, an MLA from the Shimna assembly constituency parted ways with IPFT, a regional partner in the BJP-IPFT alliance and joined Pradyot Kishore Debbarman-led TIPRA last year.
Soon after he joined TIPRA, IPFT president filed an application with the office of Tripura Legislative Assembly Speaker to disqualify Debbarma as he has violated the party’s constitutional norms.
The matter was heard for over a year and the MLA was summoned to appear physically before the assembly that he disobeyed.
The speaker in his order clearly underlined that the evidence he received established the fact that Debbarma flouted the constitution of IPFT party and the existent norms to indulge in anti-party activities as stated by IPFT supremo NC Debbarma.
He was given repeated scopes but he did not respond.
