Opinion | Alliance With TIPRA Motha May Strengthen NDA in Tripura, But BJP Has Lessons to Learn
Finally ending all speculations, the main opposition party, TIPRA Motha, in the northeastern state of Tripura, joined the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance. As a result of this, two MLAs—Animesh Debbarma and Brishaketu Debbarma—of Motha joined the council of ministers in the Manik Saha-led BJP government. Animesh took the oath of cabinet minister, while Brishaketu took the oath of minister of state. The ruling alliance already has another constituent— the Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura, whose only MLA, Shukla Charan Noatia, is a cabinet minister in the CM Manik Saha-led BJP cabinet.
