Tipra Motha will continue to fight for its core demand of a "Greater Tipra Land" for the tribals, party chief Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma said.
The Tipra Motha Party (TMP), Tripura's main opposition party which governs the key Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), has threatened to launch an agitation if the ruling BJP in the state continues to deprive the autonomous body and does not hold elections to the village councils.
The party will continue to fight for its core demand of a "Greater Tipra Land" for the tribals who are deprived of basic amenities like education and health, TMP chief Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma said.
"Several elections, including the Assembly polls, are being held in Tripura, but the BJP does not want to conduct the village council elections in the TTAADC areas. Not holding these elections has severely affected the developmental and welfare works in these areas," Mr Deb Barman said, announcing that he has decided to step down as the TMP chairperson and instead work as a 'warrior' for the party.
