Agartala Feb 03: TIPRA Motha Supremo Pradyot Kishore Deb Barma on Friday appealed all the Tiprasa people including students, employees working outside state or those went for treatment to come back to Tripura before elections for casting votes in view of ‘one last fight’.

He said, “I’m fighting the elections for a greater cause and that is to ensure overall welfare and constitutional rights for the Tiprasa people here and not for any power”.

“If the fight was for myself or for power, I would have compromised and agreed to what Delhi offered, or I would have placed anyone from my family or myself as a candidate. But I’m not ready to play with the emotions, sentiments and faith of my people”, he added.

Urging the indigenous people staying out of Tripura at present, Pradyot said, “I would request you all to come back to Tripura by February 14 and cast vote for the TIPRA Motha contributing to the ’one last fight’ which is utmost important”.

Clearing his stand over criticisms in various platforms after Pradyot sought donations for party funds in view of elections, he said, “At least we are not taking money from drug smugglers and groups like Adani, Ambani or don't have links with Rose Valley. You can insult us but we are trying to change the system”.

The Motha Chairman further announced to hold public gathering at Bisramganj on February 5 next.
