Kirit Pradyot Deb Barman

The Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance and the Assam Jatiya Parishad have come together to initiate a new political platform in the northeast to take on the BJP's might in the region. They are open to the idea of allying with the Trinamool.

Kirit Pradyot Deb Barman, the president of the Congress's Tripura unit, has threatened to resign over his petition in the Supreme Court in which he has requested implementation of an Assam-like citizens' list in the state. Mr Deb Burman, 41, has alleged that senior Congress leader Luizinho Faleiro is pressuring him to withdraw the petition.
