The supremo of Tipra Motha Pradyot Kishore Debbarma  said that they are ready to sit with the BJP for a meeting to find a "constitutional solution" to Tiprasa people's problems, a day after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that the party's concerns should be addressed through dialogue.

Pradyot Kishore through a social media video said that his party will not let down people who had voted for them. "If we are respectfully invited for talks on constitutional rights - economic, political, language -- we will participate. We are sons of the soil... We are ready for talks to find a constitutional solution to the problems of indigenous people. And, the talks cannot be about ministerial posts or individual benefits," he said.

He also warned that any party that seeks to rule Tripura by ignoring its indigenous people will find it difficult to run the state smoothly in the future.

Notably, he did not talk about his party's demand for Greater Tipraland in the video, the poll plank that helped the outfit emerge as the second largest part in the state, having secured 13 Scheduled Tribes (ST)-reserved seats out of 20 seats in March 2nd assembly poll results.

Tipra-Motha, however, failed to bag any of the 22 general seats that it contested, but the division of votes in general seats has facilitated the victory of BJP candidates.

Assam’s Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma had on Saturday said that the BJP is ready to work with the Tipra Motha to address the issues raised by the regional party, but the saffron camp is against the division of the state.

In another post, the Tipra Motha chairman said, "Majority of the Tiprasa voted for Motha. Majority of the Muslims voted for CPI(M) and the majority of the general areas voted for BJP - yet the general area leaders from the opposition blame us for them not getting support of their own communities!"

He asserted that Jitendra Choudhury of the CPI(M), "the party's CM face", could manage to win from the Sabroom seat as the Tipra Motha hadn't fielded any candidate from the constituency.

“Till yesterday when Amit shah was calling me a CPIM Congress agent it was all right for these leaders but when majority of the general people have voted for BJP then you accuse us . Accept the fact that the problem is in your support base ....be it in Tripura , West Bengal or in Silchar . BJP is the most popular party amongst the Hindu Bengali community in most parts of the state of Tripura and the non Tiprasa and Non minority leaders must accept this fact,” said Pradyot in another social media post.
