In the aftermath of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) election results declared on April 17—where the Tipra Motha Party secured a dominant victory by winning 24 of 28 seats—reports of post-poll violence have surfaced from several parts of the state.

On Sunday, two Tripura ministers alleged that incidents of violence targeting BJP workers and party offices had taken place in multiple areas. They also appealed to Tipra Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma to intervene and urge his supporters to restrain from further attacks.

Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Tinku Roy, along with Tribal Welfare Minister Bikas Debbarma and BJP state general secretary Bipin Debbarma, visited several affected locations, including Krishnapur in Khowai district.

According to Tinku Roy, BJP offices and residences were vandalized and, in some cases, set on fire in areas such as Ramchandraghat, Asarambari, Teliamura, and Krishnapur. He claimed that the situation has led to displacement of families, with around 35 people reportedly taking shelter elsewhere. He added that such incidents were unacceptable in a democratic setup and urged for peace, especially with the upcoming Garia festival, so that displaced families can return home safely.

Roy also said he had spoken to Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, requesting him to appeal for calm and prevent further escalation. He emphasized that while political parties may win or lose elections, violence against ordinary people and party workers should not become part of political culture.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy also visited violence-affected areas in the South District. He stated that in the Manu Bankul region, party offices were allegedly damaged and set on fire. He expressed concern over continued unrest after the TTAADC elections, noting that clashes were occurring between groups within the same community.

He further remarked that despite appeals for unity and peace by Tipra Motha leadership on social media—emphasizing that all communities in the region are “Thansa” (one)—violence had reportedly continued. He also raised concerns about attacks extending to culturally and religiously significant places, including Buddhist pilgrimage and tourist sites.

Authorities said that preventive and relief measures are being taken to restore normalcy in the affected areas.
