Ex Tripura Minister and Congress Leader Laxmi Nag to Join TIPRA Motha

Guwahati: Political elites are switching parties more frequently as election fever sweeps the northeastern state of Tripura. The former state minister and Congress leader Laxmi Nag will now join Pradyot Manikya’s TIPRA Motha party during a meeting today, January 17.

Before the upcoming assembly elections, the Election Commissioner and his staff toured the state to assess poll readiness and spoke with party leaders and representatives.

On the other hand, the royal scion and chairman of TIPRA Motha Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma claimed on January 16 that no such talks for an alliance had been held with other political parties and stated that TIPRA Motha would not agree to enter into any kind of alliance without a written guarantee of the demand for “Greater Tipraland.”

Pradyot has arrived from Meghalaya to Khumulwng at the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council(TTAADC) to attend a large assembly of the “Women TIPRA Federation”.

“Every time women attend our rally but they never get an opportunity to talk. Because of blessing from women, mothers and sisters, we TIPRA Motha is here now. In today’s rally, only women will speak and then me. This is a message that TIPRA Motha will speak for poor women, mothers and sisters living in the village and in the coming day we will work for each and every people”, he said.

When asked about any kind of dialogue on the alliance Pradyot said, “Alliance is possible when I will get written assurance. Because of the people we are here and running the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council. I have promised them something which I can’t compromise for money, post or power or else we are enough to contest the election alone. Where ever we will contest will defeat everyone. Without any written agreement there will be no assurance. I am here for my people. I can’t compromise for the rights of my people. We don’t need anyone’s support. We will contest our constitutional rights. We are not like other regional people who used people for vote bank politics by taking money”.
