Royal Scion and Tipra Motha Chairman Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarman on Sunday said through a social media post that he will no longer be the chairman of the party but will remain a “party member and warrior”.

In the statement, he said, “As my two-year term as the chairman of the TIPRA Motha Party comes to an end, I am no longer seeking reappointment, and as per our amended constitution, the president shall be the supreme steering post in the party. Hon’ble B K Hrangkhawl will continue to lead the party as the president of TIPRA Motha, and I will now be serving the party as a party member and a warrior!” “I thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to serve the party and the community. I don’t believe in family politics; hence, no member of my family will be taking any post in the organisation. Let’s work for the movement and not individual positions,” he said.

Earlier in the day, Debbarma, while addressing the Tipra Motha’s first plenary session, urged the party leaders to give him relief as he is tired and wants to have his own family.

In the TTAADC election held in April 2021, Tipra Motha bagged 18 of the 28 seats that went to polls and the ruling BJP is in the opposition in the Council.
