The race to power in Tripura, which appeared to be a done deal for the BJP in the early rounds of counting, appears to be heating up.
Currently, it has won 17 seats and is leading in 16. It is ally Indigenous People's Front of Tripura that has been routed in this election, winning just one seat as compared to eight in 2018. The party, which was being seen as an x-factor in these polls, has won eight seats and is ahead in four others.

The party was able to perform well in the 20 ST-reserved seats for that reason,” he said. This inherent sense of insecurity made TIPRA Motha Party’s demand of a Greater Tipraland for indigenous people more appealing,” said Salim Shah, professor of economics at Tripura University. Pradyot’s party bagged 18 of 28 seats, ceding nine to the BJP and one to an independent candidate. Kirit Bikram defeated popular Left leader Dasarath Dev in the 1967 Lok Sabha polls and Bibhu Devi won the 1991 Lok Sabha polls, defeating Left leader Bajuban Riyan. The TIPRA Motha Party fielded candidates on these 42 seats after talks with Union home minister Amit Shah in Delhi for a constitutional solution to their Greater Tipraland demand proved futile. That resulted in TIPRA Motha Party’s victory in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) polls conducted two months after the party’s formation.

Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma formed the Tipra Motha Party (TMP) after he resigned from the Congress in 2019. Tipra Motha chairperson Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma announced on the last day of the campaign in Tripura that he would quit politics after the election and never seek votes as 'Bubagra' (king).

In February 2021, it was transformed into a political outfit—the TIPRA Motha party. His plan worked a charm as his newly floated party reduced the IPFT to zero in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections just three months after its formation in April 2022. As the second-largest party, Tipra Motha is set to play a leading role in Tripura. Initial trends also indicated that Tipra Motha was set to substantially eat into the BJP's vote share in the state's tribal belts.

Tipra Motha chairman Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, while talking to ANI said that the party could sit independently, but not with Congress or the ...
