Agartala, Jan 29 — CPIM Politburo member and Vice President of Adivasi Rastriya Adhikar Mancha (ARAM), Brinda Karat, on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the BJP and Tipra Motha Party, accusing both of undermining the rights of tribal communities in Tripura. Karat also criticised Tipra Motha, alleging exploitation of tribal sentiments, a pattern she traced back to TUJS and IPFT. Commenting on former BJP MP Rebati Tripura’s statement about sending Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarman to jail, Karat described it as “a disgraceful display of power politics,” accusing parties of prioritising power and money over ideological commitments. “Three parties of the alliance raise slogans that contradict each other — IPFT says Tipraland, Tipra Motha says Greater Tipraland, and BJP opposes Tipraland. The meeting underscored rising political tensions in Tripura, with leaders voicing concerns over governance, tribal rights, and ideological opportunism amid the state’s evolving political landscape.
