The TIPRA Motha made its entry into the political arena in TTAADC polls in 2021 few months after the formation of the party. Later, they contested the Assembly polls this year to get the main opposition party tag with 13 legislators
Sangma, who arrived at Agartala to attend the mega mass gathering organised by the TIPRA Motha, vouched for a greater regional alliance among the tribal parties and said that he came to extend his support for the tribal statehood demand as a first step to show unity and solidarity in Northeast India
While the tribal party had teamed up with the opposition Congress and CPIM in addition to engaging in dialogue with the BJP-led central government over its statehood demand, no other party had until now extended support to Motha’s political demand.
