In a significant political development in Tripura’s tribal politics, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has formally joined the TIPRA Motha-led executive administration of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), paving the way for the two parties to jointly run the Council administration.

The development took place on Tuesday, November 10, when seven newly appointed Executive Members (EMs), including one BJP Member of District Council (MDC), took the oath of office at a ceremony held at Khumulwng in the presence of Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha, Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarma and senior leaders of both parties.

The induction of BJP MDC Shri Kangjaong Mog as an Executive Member is particularly significant, as it marks the BJP's formal entry into the TIPRA Motha-led executive committee. With this development, the BJP and TIPRA Motha will now share executive responsibility for running the TTAADC administration, bringing the two political parties together in the governance of the Sixth Schedule autonomous body.

Alongside Kangjaong Mog, six TIPRA Motha members also took the oath as Executive Members. They are Kamal Koloi, Rajeshwar Debbarma, Dhananjoy Tripura, Debojit Tripura, Hollywood Chakma and Khenaram Reang. The induction of these seven members marks an important expansion of the executive committee and signals a new phase in the political relationship between the BJP and TIPRA Motha in Tripura.

The swearing-in ceremony was attended by Chief Minister Manik Saha, TIPRA Motha supremo Pradyot Kishore Debbarma, Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma, MP Kriti Devi Debbarma, TTAADC Chairman Jagadish Debbarma, former TTAADC Chairman Ranjit Debbarma, MLA Ranjit Debbarma, senior officials and other public representatives.
