Tripura Election: apart from Greater Tipraland push, what tribal outfit TIPRA Motha is promising

The Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance, or TIPRA Motha, is just over a year old. But the fledgling party is capturing serious attention in the Tripura Assembly elections.

This could be attributed to a variety of factors, like its performance in tribal council polls, or its main poll plank of creating a separate state.

Here is what the party, led by erstwhile royal Pradyot Debbarma, is promising to electors.

The foremost promise is to make a concerted push for the creation of the state of Greater Tipraland for indigenous tribes. Secondly, TIPRA Motha says it would create a police force under the command of the existing Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), and would recruit around 6,000 youth for it.

The party says it will not force non-tribals to be relocated from TTAADC areas. It's promising a stipend of ₹25,000 per month to 'samajpatis' of indigenous tribes.

The party would create 20,000 new jobs, and also grant land rights to those denied so far. It has promised a one-time package for surrendered militants, and also a welfare board for the Manipuri community.
