Meanwhile, after the mega bike rally in Agartala, Pradyot Kishore addressed a large gathering of Tipra Women Federation (TWF) at syndicate ground in Khumulwng and said that his enemies thought that he is not well and because the Motha will not go for long run. He added that he will fight for the ‘Thansa’ (unity) of all indigenous people .
He said leaders and political parties had offered him money, CM post and MP post, but he doesn't know how many years he will remain alive. He doesn't want money and power, but needs the blessing of all of his people.
Hinting ruling BJP Pradyot said that they are fighting for power and money, but he is fighting for the next generation and to ensure the good future of the 13 lakh indigenous population of the state.
Debbarma said, "sometimes I receive threats of sending me to jail but will not bow down to any pressure. I will not mind if we face defeat because this is the last fight and our Thansa will return back to the Delhi people and party in Delhi again.”
He also alleged that during the past 70 years ‘Tiprasa’ were deprived by different political parties to get their legitimate rights, but now time has come for the last fight to get justice and rights under the constitution of India.
Castigating the ruling party, Pradyot said that the government run by BJP was depriving the ADC people and added that ONGC funds had been utilized for Sonu Nigam concert not for the welfare of tribal people.
