The Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA)  and Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) came together  at Khumulwng to address a mega public rally for the upcoming elections to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).  TIPRA and BJP’s ally IPFT recently forged an alliance for the upcoming elections to TTAADC. 

At the rally, TIPRA chairperson Pradyot Deb Barman said that the Thancha (unity) among the leaders of the indigenous people would help them putting their views in the Centre like never before.  Barman said, “Now is the time that we unite as a community, we unite as a race, we unite as a TIPRASA. Because for 70 years you have subjugated US. We are second class to none, and we will not allow you to rule US nor trample our Hope. We will reclaim Our glory. Because this is TIPRA."

Barman further said that TIPRA and its allies will settle for nothing less than ‘Greater Tipraland’.  Barman said, “We will not compromise for anything lesser than ‘Greater Tipraland."

Meanwhile, IPFT president and Tripura Minister NC Debbbarma said his party would decide on alliance with the BJP after the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).
