Political Tensions in Tripura: BJP and Tipra Motha Party at Odds

BJP's Northeast coordinator, Samit Patra, and Tripura in-charge Rajdeep Roy held significant meetings as tensions rose with ally Tipra Motha Party. A statewide bandh, fueled by delays in the Tiprasa Accord, led to violence in Tripura, intensifying political rifts. Both parties are navigating challenging dialogues amid discord.

BJP's Northeast coordinator, Samit Patra, and Tripura in-charge, Rajdeep Roy, held crucial meetings to address escalating tensions with Tipra Motha Party, amidst statewide unrest.

The strife surfaced after a bandh called by the Tripura Citizen Forum, backed by Tipra Motha Party MLA Ranjit Debbarma, resulted in violence and injuries. The bandh highlighted unmet demands under the Tiprasa Accord, fueling divisions.

In response, Patra met with political leaders, including Chief Minister Manik Saha, to strategize, while BJP blamed its ally for exacerbating the turmoil, despite the Tipra Motha Party's condemnation of the violence.
