AGARTALA, October 23 2020: Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT), coalition partner of ruling BJP in Tripura, has expressed confidence in leadership of Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb. The party is apparently unmoved over a reported resentment in the BJP at the behest of a few MLAs.
IPFT General Secretary and Tribal Welfare Minister Mevar Kumar Jamatia in an interview with a national news agency said that his party has full confidence in leadership of Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb. He also praised Deb for his sincere efforts to implement development schemes in the state.
Jamatia hinted at forging a durable alliance with the BJP under leadership of Biplab Kumar Deb.
Though IPFT has not made its position clear yet, political analysts believe that the regional party would ultimately forge an alliance with the BJP in elections to the tribal autonomous district council. The poll schedule of the council is expected to be announced soon.
IPFT has eight MLAs in the state assembly and has two ministers in the cabinet of Biplab Kumar Deb. Besides Mevar Kumar Jamatia, party President Narendra Chandra Debbarma is also a minister.
