"Message To New Delhi...": Tripura Royal Pradyot Deb Burman On Poll Win

TIPRA (The Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance) - headed by headed by Tripura royal Pradyot Deb Burman - last week swept crucial Tripura Autonomous District Council polls, winning 18 of 28 seats. Tripura royal Pradyot Deb Burman, speaking to NDTV, said the national parties "do not understand northeast". "There was a feeling that you have to ally with the BJP or Congress to win a election. We fought against the BJP, the world's largest party, and the Congress, the country's oldest party, and we won. 14 of our 19 winning candidates are under 40," he shared. "This is a message to New Delhi to not take us lightly," he stressed.
