Overview

  • TMP zonal chairman David Murasing is midway through a 2,500-km march from Agartala to New Delhi to highlight decades-long infiltration and press for the 2024 Tiprasa Accord’s activation.
  • On July 7, Tipra Motha held mass rallies demanding the deportation of undocumented migrants and immediate steps to curb illegal crossings from Bangladesh.
  • TMP MLA Ranjit Debbarma has issued an ultimatum threatening to withdraw support from the BJP-led Tripura government if accord commitments and border fencing demands are not met.
  • Party supremo Pradyot Debbarma and Chief Minister Manik Saha have secured a high-level meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah later this month to push for swift implementation.
  • The BJP retains an absolute majority in the 60-seat assembly with 33 MLAs plus IPFT backing, leaving the government insulated from TMP’s withdrawal threat.
