"Not Every Leader" Can Be Purchased: Tripura Royal Scion After Poll Win
A new political landmark was set in Tripura last week when the Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA) -- a party formed by former state Congress chief and Tripura's royal scion Pradyot Manikya Deb Burman -- won the tribal council polls. The party led by Mr Deb Burman, who had left the Congress over differences with the high command in 2019, cornered the BJP, the Congress as wells as the Left in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections, winning 18 of the 28 seats.
