As the Tipra Motha Party heads towards a sweeping victory in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections, party founder and royal scion Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma has issued a strong appeal for peace and restraint, urging supporters to reject any form of post-poll violence.
In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Pradyot congratulated party candidates for their impressive performance but emphasized that electoral success must be accompanied by responsibility, humility, and integrity. He cautioned that any outbreak of violence would ultimately harm the indigenous Tiprasa community, stressing that unity and harmony must take precedence over political differences.
“Elections bring both victory and defeat,” he said, adding that the true spirit of democracy lies not in confrontation but in compassion and collective progress. He called upon all communities—supporters of the BJP, CPI(M), and Tipra Motha alike—to remember their shared identity and work together to preserve peace across Tripura.
Pradyot’s message reflected a broader vision for the future, urging stakeholders to prioritize long-term development and the welfare of coming generations instead of allowing electoral outcomes to divide society. His appeal comes at a crucial time when political tensions often run high following closely contested elections.
Meanwhile, counting of votes continues under tight three-tier security arrangements across all eight districts of the state. According to official data, over 83.52 percent of the 9,62,697 registered voters exercised their franchise during polling held on April 12, determining the fate of 173 candidates in the fray.
The TTAADC, established under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution in 1985, administers nearly 70 percent of Tripura’s geographical area. It plays a vital role in safeguarding the rights, culture, and socio-economic development of tribal communities, who make up about one-third of the state’s population.
With results indicating a decisive mandate, all eyes are now on how the incoming leadership steers the council while maintaining peace and inclusivity.
