Agartala, Jun 09 (FD) Prominent Janajati leader of ruling BJP and former Deputy Chief Minister of Tripura on Friday slammed  the opposition, TIPRA Motha party for taking away people’s democratic and political right by threats.

Taking to twitter, he wrote, “Addressed the janajati yuva rally of BJP-IPFT. The politics of threat and harassment of Tiprasa for joining BJP is contrary to the concept of Thansa or unity. You cannot take away people's democratic and political right by threats and then ask for solution”.

He also slammed the party for demanding a separatist demand like greater Tipraland by carving out the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), which constitute two third of the state territory.

“The BJP-IPFT passed a cabinet decision for Land Rights, Territorial Council, 42 subjects, more funding to TTAADDC. Instead of supporting this demand of State Government through a resolution in TTAADC council demand for Greater Tipraland was mooted by TTAADC to stop the State Cabinet decision sent to Govt of India. It was only to ensure that their politics of demand goes on”, he tweeted.

“Now of course after state assembly results Greater Tipraland has disappeared it's now Interlocutor and constitutional solution. Now in the opposition bench with 13 MLAs facing a 32 strong treasury bench but hoping to cross over”, he further added. FD JK
