BJP state president Abhishek Debroy said discussions with the regional Tipra Motha party to form an alliance are underway in Tripura.
Tripura BJP state president Abhishek Debroy told reporters that talks with the regional Tipra Motha party are currently in progress, aiming at a possible electoral alliance. The statement was made during a press briefing in the state capital, underscoring the party's intent to broaden its coalition ahead of upcoming polls.
Tipra Motha, a party that commands significant support among tribal communities in Tripura, has emerged as a key player in the state's political calculus. The BJP, which has been in power in the state since 2018, appears keen to secure the tribal vote by aligning with the regional outfit.
While no formal agreement has been announced, both sides have indicated a willingness to negotiate policy priorities and seat-sharing arrangements. Political analysts suggest that any alliance could reshape the contest for the next legislative assembly election, though final terms remain under discussion.
