Agartala: Pradyot Kishore Deb Barman, chairman of Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA) and member of Tripura’s royal family, has entered parliamentary politics by filing the nomination papers for the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council.
Deb Barman submitted his nomination for the Takarjala-Jampuijala constituency for the district council elections, which surprised many in the political arena. The IPFT President and revenue minister NC Debbarma is the local MLA from the Takarjala assembly constituency.
Deb Barman had refrained from entering parliamentary politics, but the betrayal of the ruling ally IPFT could be one of the reasons behind his decision.
