Pradyot Debbarma had said that any political party mulling an alliance with the TIPRA, will have to, at first, accept his party’s ‘Tipraland’ demand.
“Our main demand in ‘Greater Tipraland’. Any political party interested in alliance with TIPRA, will have to give us in writing that they support our stand,” Debbarma had said.
He added: “Verbal commitments have no meaning. I will not fool my Tiprasa people. Till the time I don’t get anything in writing, I am not going to compromise on my stand.”
