Tipra Motha Party founder Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma has described the November 27 ‘One North East Unity’ rally at Agartala’s Swami Vivekananda Maidan as a “historic and defining” moment for the Tiprasa community. Speaking during a Facebook Live address on November 28, the royal scion urged party workers to intensify outreach efforts, joining programmes and meetings across all districts in the coming days.
Reflecting on the massive turnout, Pradyot said he had “never seen such a huge crowd” in his political journey. He noted that while the venue overflowed with supporters, an even larger number gathered along the roads, with many unable to reach the ground due to road blockades. According to him, the overwhelming participation was a clear sign that the Tiprasa community “will not remain silent anymore”.
Pradyot also took a swipe at those who doubted the party’s ability to organise a rally of such scale. He alleged that attempts were made to stop people from attending, yet the response proved the strength and resolve of the community. “This is the success of every tribal person and every parent who dreams of securing the future of the next generation,” he said.
He added that several dignitaries, including Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, were astonished by the magnitude of the gathering. “All the guests said they had never witnessed such a large turnout,” Pradyot remarked, calling the rally a symbol of unity and collective determination.
Reaffirming his commitment to the cause of the tribal population, Pradyot urged party workers to step up statewide mobilisation and prepare for a larger political push. “I am fighting for my people, not for personal benefit. Now Tiprasa is not alone. We are united, and when we stand together, we cannot lose,” he said.
The Tipra Motha chief concluded by thanking supporters, volunteers and the Tripura Police for ensuring a smooth and peaceful event, asserting that the rally had opened a new chapter in the state’s political landscape.
