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.
In a video clip on his official Facebook page, Debbarma said TIPRA Motha won’t entertain 'offer of some post’ since his party was made for a ‘constitutional solution’.
With BJP in for comfortable majority, immediate challenge for TIPRA chief Debbarma is to keep his flock together given many of his candidates would want to be in the party in power.
