Tipra Motha Party (TMP) founder Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma on Sunday exuded confidence in his party winning the Village Council and the 2028 Assembly elections in Tripura. In a video message from a hospital in Mumbai, where the TMP leader is undergoing treatment, Debbarma said if youths stay united and don’t fight with each other, nobody can stop the Tipra Motha Party from winning the forthcoming elections in the State. “Today is the foundation day of Youth Tipra Federation (YTF). If I have ever given chances, it is to YTF, and the majority of YTF members are MLAs and Members of the District Council. In the coming days also, I want to give opportunities to the youth,” he said.
“A majority of youths were earlier put in the receiving line during protests when police resort to lathicharge. But when the leaders come to power, the youth never get a chance. Instead, some people who are very old get the opportunities,” he said. “Today, 70 percent of Tripura’s population is young and below 35 years of age. If our decision-makers are not aware of technology and not connected with the present situation, the hopes of the new generation, and communication, then the next generation and Gen Z will face losses. For this, I have promoted YTF, and the same applies to TISF and all student organisations,” Debbarma said.
“My fight is for my people and will always be for my people and the next generation. Politics will come and go, but if we and YTF work with honesty, then the future of Tiprasa will be in the hands of good people,” he added. The TMP leader further urged the youths to remain united, visit the villages and stop corruption. “We must move forward with one voice. We should not forget why we have come here and what our responsibility is. Youth must stay united and not fight with each other. If we move forward together, nobody can stop us from winning the Village Council and the 2028 Assembly elections, as this is the time of the youth,” he added.
