This meeting comes amid speculation that TIPRA Motha might align with either the Congress-led coalition or the ruling BJP, which has also shown interest in a pact. Debbarma’s party, which enjoys significant support among the tribal population, is crucial in the state’s political landscape, especially given their demand for greater autonomy and rights for indigenous communities (India Today) (Northeast Today).

The BJP, on the other hand, recently signed an agreement with TIPRA Motha to address some of these tribal issues, although the core demand for a separate state, ‘Greater Tipraland’, was not included. This agreement has fueled speculations about a possible BJP-TIPRA Motha alliance (India Today). The ongoing political maneuvers indicate a strategic push by all parties to secure a stronger foothold in Tripura ahead of the national elections.
