Biplab & Pradyot’s meeting sparks political buzz in Tripura
In a surprise move, BJP MP Biplab Deb and Tipra Motha chief Pradyot Debbarma held a closed-door meeting at Ujjayanta Palace in Agartala, the capital city of Tripura. The meeting has sparked widespread speculation amidst the ongoing tensions over the Tiprasa Accord, which has been a bone of contention between the BJP-led government and the Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT).
The meeting was described as a birthday visit, with Biplab Deb being one of the guests at Pradyot Debbarma’s birthday celebration. However, the timing and nature of the meeting have raised eyebrows, with many wondering if it was indeed just a casual social gathering or something more.
The meeting comes at a time when the Tipra Motha party, led by Pradyot Debbarma, has been expressing its displeasure with the Tiprasa Accord, which was signed in 2019 between the BJP-led government and the IPFT. The accord aimed to address the demands of the indigenous people of Tripura, including the creation of a separate state for the Tiprasa community.
However, the Tipra Motha party has been criticizing the accord, claiming that it has not been implemented in its true spirit. The party has also been protesting against the alleged neglect of the indigenous people by the state government.
In recent days, there have been heightened tensions between the Tipra Motha party and the BJP-led government. A Tipra MLA, Sudhangshu Dey, had even threatened to pull support from the government if its demands were not met. The meeting between Biplab Deb and Pradyot Debbarma has only added fuel to the fire, with many speculating that it may be a sign of backdoor politics at play.
The meeting has also raised questions about the role of Biplab Deb, who is a prominent BJP leader in Tripura. Deb has been at the forefront of the BJP’s efforts to woo the indigenous people of Tripura and has been credited with helping the party win the 2018 assembly elections in the state.
However, Deb’s meeting with Pradyot Debbarma has sparked concerns that he may be trying to undermine the Tipra Motha party’s stance on the Tiprasa Accord. The meeting has also raised questions about the BJP’s commitment to the accord, which was signed with the IPFT in the first place.
The Tipra Motha party has been critical of the BJP-led government’s handling of the Tiprasa Accord, claiming that it has not been implemented in its true spirit. The party has also been demanding greater representation for the indigenous people in the state government.
In a statement, Pradyot Debbarma’s office said that the meeting was a “birthday visit” and that the two leaders had discussed various issues, including the Tiprasa Accord. However, the statement did not provide any further details about the nature of the discussion.
The meeting has sent shockwaves through the political circles in Tripura, with many speculating about its implications for the Tiprasa Accord and the BJP-led government. The meeting has also raised questions about the role of Biplab Deb, who has been at the forefront of the BJP’s efforts to woo the indigenous people of Tripura.
As the political landscape in Tripura continues to evolve, it remains to be seen what the implications of this meeting will be. One thing is certain, however, that the meeting has sparked a lot of speculation and has raised questions about the role of Biplab Deb and the Tipra Motha party in the ongoing political drama in Tripura.
