TIPRA Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarma on Monday reiterated that he is not an adversary of the leaders in New Delhi, stressing that all his efforts are aimed solely at safeguarding the interests and future of the indigenous Tiprasa people. During a nearly 30-minute Facebook Live session, he appealed today to the Central leadership to expedite the implementation of the Tiprasa Accord, describing it as essential for addressing the long-standing aspirations of the indigenous community.

Notably, despite speaking at length about the future of the Tiprasa people, Pradyot did not mention the earlier demand for "Greater Tipraland" during the live interaction. Instead, his focus remained on the implementation of the existing accord and organisational reforms within TIPRA Motha.

Addressing his prolonged absence from Tripura, Pradyot explained that both he and his mother had been undergoing medical treatment due to health issues. He said this was the primary reason for his absence from public life in recent weeks and assured supporters that he would return to active politics after recovering.

In an emotionally charged address, Pradyot expressed gratitude for the trust and affection shown by the indigenous people of Tripura. He remarked that he might never be able to fully repay the love and confidence reposed in him by the Tiprasa community.

Using a strong metaphor, he declared, "Just because the tiger is silent, some dogs have started barking. But I am not someone who accepts defeat. Once I recover, I will return stronger and continue the fight to secure justice for the indigenous people of Tripura."

He also asserted that many of his initiatives for the welfare of the Tiprasa people are carried out quietly, without seeking publicity. "Everything I do for my people does not need to be advertised," he said.

Pradyot announced that appointments made in the TTAADC administration without proper interview procedures would be cancelled, indicating a strict stand against alleged irregularities in recruitment. He also lamented that, in many instances, members of the indigenous community themselves had caused greater harm to their own people than outsiders.

In one of the most striking remarks of the session, the TIPRA Motha founder warned that the truth about internal betrayal would eventually come to light.

"The day I speak openly, people will understand how our own people have sold us out," he said.

He further hinted at major organisational changes within TIPRA Motha and the TTAADC administration, suggesting that several leaders whom he described as being driven by the pursuit of power could soon be removed. He indicated that the party would increasingly place responsibility in the hands of Generation Z youth, saying a new generation of leadership was needed to take the movement forward.

Pradyot acknowledged that such sweeping changes might not be welcomed by everyone but maintained that they were necessary for the long-term interests of the Tiprasa people. He concluded by saying that the "Tiger" would soon return to the political field, signalling a renewed phase of political activity and reforms within the party.
