Agartala: The Tipra Motha Party (TMP ) is set to hold a mass rally at Swami Vivekananda Maidan in Tripura’s Agartala on November 27.
TMP founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarma on Saturday said that several prominent leaders from the Northeast — including Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma — are expected to take part in the event.
Debbarma said, “We are organising a mass rally at Swami Vivekananda Maidan here in Agartala. Leaders like Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, Mmhonlumo Kikhon, Daniel Langthasa, and several other leaders from the northeast region will attend the rally.”
Speaking about the ‘One North East’ initiative, Debbarma said that discussions on the proposal have made substantial progress and efforts are now underway to give the pan-Northeast platform a concrete structure.
He stressed that speaking with a united voice is more effective than raising the same concerns individually, noting that people from different states and identities are coming together under one umbrella to collectively highlight their grievances.
He added that Delhi often ignores fragmented appeals, even when the demands are identical. “The issues are the same, but the voices are scattered. Delhi doesn’t have the time to listen when everyone speaks separately,” he remarked.
He said this new collective is not a merger of parties but a united front to strengthen the voice of the northeastern states in Delhi, especially on issues such as land rights, identity protection, and the rights of indigenous communities.
The TMP chief said leaders across the region have shown interest in working together on a common policy approach that will benefit the entire Northeast.
Notably, the “One North East” initiative, spearheaded by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma and TIPRA Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarma, is a recent effort to form a unified political entity representing the collective aspirations of the region’s indigenous peoples. It seeks to bring together the Northeast’s diverse regional voices to ensure that the region’s concerns are presented more effectively and addressed at the national level.
