Tipra Motha chief Pradyot Kishore Debbarma met Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha for a long discussion at the Chief Minister’s chamber on Friday. The meeting followed the Tripura bandh on October 23, which saw violence and political blame within the alliance.
Sources said the BJP central leadership asked both leaders to meet and settle all pending issues. The move aims to reduce tensions and rebuild coordination between the BJP and Tipra Motha, two key partners in Tripura’s political landscape.
Dialogue Focused on Repairing Ties
During the meeting, Pradyot Kishore and Dr. Saha discussed several current issues. Both agreed to resolve misunderstandings and restore mutual trust. Pradyot assured the Chief Minister that his party would continue supporting the government.
Dr. Saha, in turn, promised to fulfill every clause in the tripartite agreement signed by the surrendered militants, the state government, and the Union Home Ministry. The pact focuses on maintaining peace, protecting indigenous rights, and promoting development in tribal areas.
Political observers believe the meeting marks a major step toward normalizing relations between the two parties. Many see it as a signal that both leaders prefer dialogue over public confrontation.

Strengthening Tribal and Non-Tribal Relations
Beyond political concerns, both leaders discussed ways to improve ties between tribal and non-tribal communities. They agreed to counter false narratives and hate campaigns spreading on social media that threaten communal peace.
Pradyot emphasized the need for cooperation and transparency, while Dr. Saha underlined the importance of inclusive development. Their joint efforts aim to ensure that ethnic unity remains a top priority in Tripura’s political and social agenda.
Silence After the Meeting Fuels Speculation
Neither Pradyot nor Dr. Saha posted about the meeting on social media or released an official statement. Their silence sparked speculation in political circles about the depth of their discussion.
Analysts suggest that both leaders avoided public statements to prevent misinterpretation. They may plan to act first and speak later, ensuring the reconciliation produces visible results before announcing them.
Even so, the very fact that both leaders came together after recent tensions highlights a renewed commitment to cooperation. The meeting also suggests that the BJP and Tipra Motha leaderships recognize the need to maintain unity ahead of future political challenges.
Path Forward for Tripura Politics
If both leaders follow through on their promises, the alliance could regain strength and stability. Implementation of the tripartite agreement would build confidence among the tribal population and show that the government honors its commitments.
The renewed dialogue also sends a positive message about collaboration and conflict resolution in Tripura’s multi-ethnic society. By choosing discussion over division, Pradyot Kishore and Dr. Manik Saha may have opened the door to a more stable and cooperative political environment.
