The TMP is an important ally of the BJP-led coalition government in the northeastern state.
The latest development comes more than a year after a tripartite agreement was signed in New Delhi between the TMP, the Tripura government and the Centre to resolve all issues of the
indigenous people of Tripura
.
Live Events
The Tipra Motha Party (TMP) signed the Tiprasa Accord with the Centre and the state government in March 2024 for the overall development of the indigenous people of the state.
The TMP, which was formerly the main opposition party in Tripura, joined the BJP-led government ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The Tipra Motha has 13 MLAs in the 60-member assembly and got two ministerial berths.
Even if the TMP withdraws support, the BJP-led government would remain in power as it has 33 MLAs in the 60-member House. Besides, it has the backing of an IPFT legislator.
On the allegation of non-implementation of the Tiprasa Accord, even one year after it was signed, in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Saha said that he is in constant touch with TMP supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma.
"The process is on to implement the Tiprasa Accord linked to the development of the indigenous people of the northeastern state," the chief minister said.
Responding to the party MLA's statement, the TMP supremo on Saturday said, "I don't know about the statement made by our MLA Ranjit Debbarma, but I will surely talk to him. Today, I had a conversation with Chief Minister Manik Saha, and I told him that it has been 18 months since the Tiprasa Accord was signed.
"If MLA Debbarma spoke about withdrawing support from the government, it would be out of frustration because a sense of genuine frustration and insecurity is prevailing in the rural areas," he stated.

Six BJP workers injured in alleged TIPRA Motha attack in Tripura
At least six Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers sustained injuries when activists of the Tipra Motha party allegedly attacked a BJP office during the Prime Minister's Mann Ki Baat radio programme at Asharambari in Khowai district on Sunday (July 27, 2025). Tipra Motha leader and Forest Minister Animesh Debbarma, who returned from New Delhi on Sunday (July 27, 2025), denied his party's involvement in the incident. Local BJP leaders claimed that over 50 Tipra Motha members, armed with sticks and sharp-cutting weapons, attacked the party's Mandal office and assaulted BJP cadres. Two cars and five motorcycles were reportedly damaged in the attack. The BJP office was also vandalised during the incident. Police said an investigation has been initiated but no arrests have been made so far. Asharambari is a tribal Assembly constituency where the Tipra Motha has a significant presence. BJP State president and Rajya Sabha MP Rajiv Bhattacharjee condemned the incident. Leader of the Opposition and CPI(M) State secretary Jitendra Chowdhury also criticised the Tipra Motha for the alleged attack. Clashes between BJP and Tipra Motha supporters have become frequent in interior areas of the State, particularly over organisational expansion. Several persons were injured in recent clashes in the Charilam and Takarjala areas.

No merger of BRS with any party, asserts KTR
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) ruled out the BRS merging with any political party and said it would remain relevant to Telangana politics till the State exists. 'We have no reason to merge with anyone, and we will remain in public service as long as we have the people's blessings,' he said, arguing that the BRS was the only party that was rooted in the spirit of Telangana. He made these remarks while addressing a meeting of the Bhupalapally district party workers. His assertion came at a time when the BRS is cornered over allegations that there were efforts to merge it with the BJP. This gained credence after BJP MP C.M. Ramesh claimed that KTR personally visited him at his residence with the proposals. 'I have the evidence to prove it,' he claimed. As the BRS workers were caught in a dilemma, KTR categorically dismissed any such possibility and said this was a ploy to play with the sentiments of the party workers. He further said that people were now waiting for the Congress government to go, so that K. Chandrasekhar Rao could lead the State again. Mr. Rama Rao claimed that the Congress government's incompetence had pushed the State into chaos. 'A single wrong vote has pushed Telangana into danger. It is now up to the people to correct that mistake,' he argued, appealing to the Backward Classes, farmers, and women to reject the Congress in the upcoming local body elections. The former Minister said power was never permanent. What mattered was whether the poll promises were kept and history will remember who contributed to Telangana's development. 'Telangana's development and welfare could only continue if KCR returns as Chief Minister.' Further attacking Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for 'betraying' the Backward Classes (BCs) he said the promise of allocating ₹ 20,000 crore per year for BC welfare in the Kamareddy Declaration was not kept. And the Congress has no right to seek their votes.
