Tipra Motha Sets Sept. 9 Delhi Protest as Tripura Ruling Alliance Frays

The party moves to escalate pressure over the stalled Tiprasa Accord implementation.

Overview

  • The demonstration is scheduled near Jantar Mantar with demands that include implementing the Tiprasa Accord, deporting illegal immigrants from Tripura, and constitutional recognition for ‘Greater Tipraland’.
  • Tipra Motha chief Pradyot Debbarma will attend with ministers, MLAs and TTAADC representatives, and party leader David Murasingh will join after a 2,500‑km walk from Agartala to Delhi.
  • Recent weeks have seen reported clashes between BJP and Tipra Motha workers, with Chief Minister Manik Saha blaming the ally for an assault on a BJP worker in Sepahijala district.
  • Both parties accuse each other of poaching grassroots leaders ahead of local contests, reflecting a broader struggle for influence in tribal areas.
  • The Supreme Court has issued notices to explain the delay in TTAADC village committee elections, a politically pivotal exercise covering about 12 lakh people where Tipra Motha dominates ST-reserved assembly seats.
