Tripura govt's partner IPFT to agitate Delhi seeking separate statehood

Agartala, Aug 14 (UNI) The ruling BJP’s alliance partner IPFT in the Tripura government has announced to hold an agitation in Delhi on August 23 to press for their demand for a separate state elevating the status of Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council.
The party had been fighting for the demand for the last 25 years and joined hands with BJP in the last assembly elections. There was a specific promise to empower the indigenous community and upgrade the status of ADC, which were the important conditions for forging an alliance with the BJP in assembly but so far there is no progress, stated IPFT President and Revenue Minister N C Debbarma on Sunday.
The union home ministry had constituted a high power committee and they had meetings with the stakeholders over the demands soon after the new government assumed office, but there was no development afterwards, Debbarma pointed out adding, “We had several rounds of meeting with the prime minister, home minister, defence minister, BJP national president and top leaders of the party to push for our demand.”
