The Tripura royal scion further said that he “started TIPRA for the cause of our people”.
“The communist in Tripura ruined us under Manik Sarkar, the ‘state’ Congress literally threw me out for MR GOA and the BJP did nothing for the indigenous people between 2018-23,” said Debbarma.
He added: “I will never stop negotiating for the constitutional rights of our people till my last breath.”
It may be mentioned here that TIPRA supremo Pradyot Debbarma along with top leaders of his party met Assam chief minister and NEDA convenor Himanta Biswa Sarma in Guwahati.
The TIPRA leaders said that they were “highly satisfied” with discussions held on the progress for ‘Greater Tipraland’ and constitutional solution for tribals.
