TIPRA organises massive rally in Tripura, demand creation of "Greater Tipraland"

Tribal party TIPRA (Tiprahaa Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance) organised massive rally in Tripura. The party is demanding creation of “Greater Tipraland”.

Tripura is going to polls early next year. Tribals constitute one third of Tripura’s four million populations.

TIPRA, headed by Tripura’s royal scion Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barman on Saturday announced to put up candidates at least in 35 seats in the next Assembly election on its own, putting a big challenge to the BJP and the CPI-M.


The TIPRA leaders while explaining about their ‘Greater Tipraland’ demand said that under the concept they wanted to improve the socio-economic conditions of the backward tribals living in the northeastern states of India, neighbouring Bangladesh, Myanmar and adjoining areas.
