The BJP has agreed to move ahead with the implementation of the March 2024 Tripartite Agreement, including steps on indigenous land rights, paving the way for an electoral understanding with the TIPRA Motha Party and IPFT for the upcoming TTAADC Village Committee elections, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha said in Agartala after returning from Delhi.
Saha had rushed to the national capital, where he held discussions with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot Kishore Debbarma.
He described the talks as “fruitful and constructive” and said the three NDA partners would contest the September 28 Village Committee elections together.
It also envisaged a Joint Working Committee to outline measures for time-bound implementation. The March 2, 2024 agreement among the Centre, the Tripura government, TIPRA Motha, and other stakeholders aims to address issues concerning indigenous people, including land and political rights, economic development, identity, culture, and language.
Saha said implementation of the Tripartite Agreement would be pursued in a time-bound manner while safeguarding the sentiments and interests of all communities.
