Agartala, 15 Oct 2022: Tipra Motha chairman Maharaja Pradyot, in a press meet officially declared the joining of Dhananjay Tripura to TIPRA Motha party. Along with Dhananjay Tripura, other MDC and leaders from different wings of TIPRA Motha were present at the press conference on Saturday.
Dhananjoy Tripura is the second legislator from IPFT to exit the party since last year. A year ago, IPFT legislator Brishaketu Debbarma left the party to join TIPRA Motha.
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday faced yet another setback in Tripura ahead of next year’s assembly elections after Dhananjoy Tripura, a legislator from the NDA ally Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT), tendered his resignation to assembly speaker Ratan Chakraborty.
He was seen accompanied by royal scion and head of TIPRA Motha party Pradyot Kishore Debbarma while submitting his resignation. On Saturday, after official declaration of joining TIPRA Motha party, the whole picture became clear. He won the 2018 assembly polls from Raimavalley constituency in Dhalai district.
The resignation came within a month after BJP legislator Burbu Mohan Tripura left the party.
