Tripura Speaker yet to accept resignation of IPFT MLA
The Hindu
‘I have to follow a set of rules and procedures before making a formal announcement’
Tripura Assembly Speaker Rebati Mohan Das has not yet accepted the resignation of former IPFT MLA Brishaketu Debbarma though the latter claimed to have completed all formalities. The Speaker said he would have to check the rules and procedures before declaring a decision. Mr. Debbarma (44) had on June 30 announced his resignation from the Assembly and the IPFT, coalition partner of the ruling BJP. The announcement came as a surprise in the political circles. The IPFT termed the development ‘very unfortunate’ as the party was sure to lose the youth leader to the Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Alliance (TIPRA) that registered a huge win in the recent elections to the tribal autonomous district council.More Related News
