Tipra Motha chief Pradyot Kishor Manikya Debbarman says it is time for Congress to introspect what they are doing, whom they are sending and why in such a situation.
The Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarman-led Tipra Motha is now the new opposition of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tripura.
Tipra Motha Party candidate Subodh Debbarma even defeated BJP leader and ex-deputy CM Jishnu Dev Barman.
After the results, Tipra Motha chief had a special conversation with News18.
Edited excerpts:
Are you happy with the results?
I expected more seats, but to be the main opposition party in our first attempt certainly proves our point. We have fought for our people. We will talk about the rights of indigenous peoples.
What do you have to say about the party you were associated with earlier, Congress?
It is high time Congress introspects what they are doing, who they are sending and why they are in this situation. I have worked under all three people who live.
What will be your role as the opposition?
I congratulate Chief Minister Manik Saha. I personally called him and congratulated him. He is a good person. We will work with them as the opposition.
What is the future of Tipra Motha?
Bubugra will work for Tipraland. The voice of tribals will be raised in the assembly. There is no point in disintegrating the opposition. Our fight was emotional, not political.
