Agartala, Jan 23: The TIPRA Motha regional political party in Tripura, which is insisting on written assurance on ‘Greater Tipraland’ to forge an electoral alliance is readying the party’s strategy to release the candidate lists soon this month.

“We will soon finalise our candidate to release the lists and accordingly we will be filing our nomination within 3 to 4 days,” said TIPRA Motha chairperson Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma on Monday.

He said, “There have been several media reports saying that TIPRA Motha is getting alliance offers from different political parties. Let me make it very clear that, we are not here to accept some few things ready to be offered by other parties, rather we are here to fight for the rights of our Tiprasas, we are here for one last fight with our demand for constitutional rights – Greater Tipraland.”

“Infact some of our party workers are suggesting me to accept the proposals of other parties for alliance, I want to say that I simply cannot cheat with our Tiprasas in Tripura who are eagerly waiting for me to do something for them, not that I will compromise with our constitutional demand,” he said.

He said, “Many leaders I have seen within the past few days are ready to compromise to become an MLA, but Bubagra is not ready to compromise. It is very clear that TIPRA Motha is ready to contest this election alone and if any party intends to talk with us at the very last moment, then one must come with a written assurance on Greater Tipraland.”
