Agartala, Aug 27: Ahead of Tripura bypolls, Tipra Motha chief Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma on Saturday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.
Tripura bypolls are slated to be held on September 5 in two Tripura assembly segments.
“Shri @PradyotManikyaJi had a fruitful meeting with Hon’ble Home Minister Shri @AmitShah Ji in Delhi today. They discussed the ongoing talks and the rights and welfare of the indigenous people. It has been the vision of the prime minister to secure the rights and empower the tribals of Tripura and the rest of the country,” said BJP’s national spokesperson and northeast coordinator Sambit Patra on X, formerly Twitter.
Sources said the meeting assumed political significance as the CPI(M) had recently held discussions with the regional party and sought its support for the bypolls to the Dhanpur and Boxanagar seats in Sepahijala.
In a social media post, Tipra Motha’s supremo indicated that his party was ”unlikely” to support the CCPI (M),which has fielded candidates in the by-elections.
The BJP is set to take on the CPI(M) as the Tipra Motha and the Congress have decided not to contest the by-elections.
The bypoll to the Boxanagar constituency was necessitated due to the death of CPI (M) MLA Samsul Haque. Union Minister Pratima Bhoumik’s resignation as the MLA of Dhanpur necessitated the by-election to that seat.
