In a resounding victory, the Tipra Motha Party (TMP), led by Pradyot Debbarma, swept the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council elections, claiming 24 of the 28 available seats. This has reinforced TMP's influence in the region, which encompasses nearly 70 percent of Tripura's geographical area.
Chief Minister Manik Saha extended his congratulations to all winners and expressed his appreciation for the hard work of BJP karyakartas during the elections. Despite BJP's alliance with TMP, both parties contested the seats separately, with BJP managing to win only four seats in the council.
Controversy arose as allegations of communal rhetoric were made by CPI(M) Leader Jitendra Chadhury against both Chief Minister Saha and TMP founder Debbarma. Senior Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman attributed the TMP's landslide victory to internal conflicts within the BJP.
