Agartala: A party newly floated by the Tripura royal scion has won a surprise, landslide victory in the crucial Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council poll, dealing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and its ally Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura a major blow.
Two years after resigning from the post of president of Tripura Pradesh Congress over differences with the high command, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Deb Barman founded the combine called The Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA). On April 10, the party bagged 18 out of 28 seats of the TTAADC that went to polls on April 6.
