Reacting to Bangladesh chief adviser Yunus's remarks on Northeast, BJP ally Pradyot says Chittagong hill tracts were always inhabited by indigenous tribes which wanted to be part of India.

Motha won 13 seats in 2023 assembly polls. It's entry into cabinet assures BJP of the party’s support in LS polls, while also weaning it away from path of agitation for 'Greater Tipraland'.
Founder of TIPRA Motha, Pradyot Debbarma says he'll be forced to take agitation route ahead of LS polls if talks with Centre see no progress, since 'BJP won’t listen to us after polls'.
While discussions are at early stage, TIPRA Motha chief may contest from Tripura East Lok Sabha seat as part of seat-sharing arrangement. Debbarma is close to Gandhi siblings.
