IPFT to meet royal scion for NRC and Tipraland

Agartala, Oct 15 (UNI) Tribal politics in Tripura has got a twist with the announcement of royal scion and Chairman of Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA) Pradyot Kishore Deb Barman deciding to join the meeting of ruling BJP's alliance partner Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) tomorrow to intensify movement for a separate state.
Re-cementing of relations between TIPRA and IPFT has exerted pressure on BJP further, which has been suffering from factional fight and inner conflict over the past two years. Realignment of IPFT and other tribal based parties with the royal family pulls a new dimension in the state politics well ahead of next assembly elections.
To revive it’s existence in the hills, IPFT general secretary and tribal welfare minister of Biplab Kumar Deb’s cabinet Mevar Kumar Jamatia in a letter invited Pradyot Kishore Deb Barman to join a meeting tomorrow at Geetanjali Guest House in the city, as IPFT has decided to form a Joint Movement Committee for Tipraland and NRC to safeguard the interests of native indigenous peoples of Tripura.
