Tipra Motha "goons" attacked Mann Ki Baat event, vandalised vehicles and injured BJP workers: BJP Mandal President
BJP Mandal President Jayanta Debbarma has claimed that over 50 Tipra Motha Party "goons" attacked a Mann Ki Baat event on Sunday in Tripura's Khowai district, injuring several party workers and damaging multiple vehicles. Debbarma accused the Tipra Motha Party of trying to instill fear and disrupt a peaceful community event held in honour of the Prime Minister's address.(Papan Das) The incident took place at booth number 30 in Asaram Bari while Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat was being broadcast. According to Debbarma, the attackers arrived armed with sharp weapons, lathis and rods, and began hurling bricks and bottles at BJP workers. "Over 50 goons of the Tipra Motha Party attacked and disrupted the program. They vandalised my vehicle and also attacked the owner of the house where the Mann Ki Baat program was organised. They also vandalised 15 bikes and several other vehicles," Debbarma told ANI. He added that six BJP workers sustained injuries, with some hit on the head, mouth, and chest. "Around six karyakartas sustained injuries to the head, mouth, and chest. They brought daos, lathis, rods, and other weapons to attack us," he said. Debbarma accused the Tipra Motha Party of trying to instill fear and disrupt a peaceful community event held in honour of the Prime Minister's address. The Tipra Motha Party is currently allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party, which is led by Chief Minister Manik Saha, the ruling party in the state. Earlier this month, Tipra Motha Party Chief Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma raised concerns over Bangladeshi nationals allegedly buying tribal land in the northeastern state of Tripura, claiming that the state is losing "land inch by inch." While raising the issue of the alleged land sale, Pradyot Bikram hit out at both the Congress and the BJP, accusing certain people of doing politics for "short-term gains," while the state is losing land to outsiders. "I have just got documents today to prove a Bangladeshi national has purchased land in the tribal areas of Tripura, and the property was mutated in his name. I am aware that when I raise these issues, I am attacked by a few of my friends from Congress and also certain individuals who are today in the BJP for personal gains. Should I stay silent and see our state lose land inch by inch while people do politics of short-term gains?" he said.

Tripura BJP's Key Ally Seeks Revision Of Voter Rolls In State
The ruling BJP's key ally in Tripura, Tipra Motha Party (TMP), on Wednesday met the Election Commission of India to press for its demand for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR), an exercise like the one in Bihar, in the northeastern state. Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma's party has been demanding a revision of voter rolls amid concerns about infiltration. The Tripura unit of the BJP has distanced itself from its allies' demand. According to sources, the poll body has assured the delegation that the voter roll revision exercise will likely will be conducted across the country, including Tripura. "Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Tripura is our core demand. Illegal migration is affecting our state and northeast and today if we don't identify illegal voters there will be no tomorrow for our next generation," said Mr Debbarma. The party demanded that the poll body take steps to detect, delete, and deport illegal immigrants to Bangladesh, with Debbarma cautioning that if the situation goes out of control, the country's security will be under threat. "We can't share an inch of land in the state with the infiltrators", he said. "Tipra Motha is an independent political party. We put forward our demand for SIR in Tripura. The Congress and the BJP can also place their opinions. We don't require permission to visit Delhi and speak in favour of indigenous people," he said. Earlier, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha had stated that his government has formed task forces to identify and deport illegal immigrants, particularly Rohingyas and Bangladeshi nationals staying unlawfully in the state.
