A fresh political storm has erupted in Tripura’s tribal politics as the BJP’s Janajati Morcha leadership has strongly condemned recent remarks made by TIPRA Motha founder and royal scion Pradyot Kishore Debbarman. Over the past few days, Debbarman has been openly criticizing the BJP, accusing its central leadership of doing nothing for Tripura’s tribal communities and even making controversial comments about the Chief Minister.
Reacting sharply, top BJP Janajati Morcha leaders stated that no other political party has done as much for the welfare of Tripura’s tribal population as the BJP has. They highlighted several initiatives of the BJP-led government including honoring tribal community leaders, conferring Padma Shri awards on prominent tribal achievers, and naming the Agartala Airport
