Agartala, 11th August 2026 : Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma has convened a meeting of the party’s senior leadership on August 17 to discuss organisational strengthening, transparency and public accountability, while reiterating that implementation of the Tiprasa Accord must precede any political understanding for the upcoming Village Committee elections.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Pradyot said the meeting would focus on strengthening the party at the organisational level and improving its functioning so that it continues to enjoy the confidence and trust of the people.
He said the rights and interests of the Tiprasa community would remain his foremost priority and would not be compromised for personal or political gains.
Pradyot also said he was encouraged by the fact that the party’s elected representatives shared the same position.“I am very happy that my MLAs and MDCs have also raised the same point. They do not want to pursue personal interests; they want the rights of the people,” he said.
On the possibility of an alliance for the Village Committee elections, Pradyot reiterated that talks would move forward only if concrete steps were taken in the interest of the Tiprasa people.“We want something for our people, not for ourselves. If something is given to my people, only then will the talks progress. Otherwise, there will be no progress,” he said.
The August 17 meeting in Agartala will be attended by all elected MDCs and MLAs, senior party leaders and workers, as well as senior members of the Youth Tipra Federation (YTF) and Tipra Indigenous Students Federation (TISF). According to Pradyot, the meeting will also discuss how party leaders and workers should interact with the public and maintain discipline and accountability.“We are not VIPs. Our behaviour towards the public should remain the same as that of ordinary people,” he said.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 3 pm.Pradyot further urged party leaders and workers to uphold discipline, political integrity and commitment to the people, saying that the party’s credibility depended on maintaining its principles and character.
