AGARTALA, Dec 11 (TIWN): Prime Minister Modi’s nationalism inspired massive number of tribal youths joining into BJP which caused huge setbacks to anti-Bengali divisive forces. Former extremists infested tribal party IPFT’s irrational demand of ‘Twipra Land’ got a major jolt as huge number of IPFT supporters joined in BJP on Sunday.

 IPFT youth forum has been dismissed finally as they joined BJP, led by the President of Youth IPFT Pabitra Jamatia, Working President David Murasing. With an announcement declared by BJP State President Biplab Deb they had received a grand welcome from the party. 

"The young forum of IPFT are holding protest at ADC headquarter, but they are not with the main stream...Most probably they have aligned with BJP”, said Dhar. 

However, CPI-M's polit buros assumption has proven true.  But ultimately giving a major jolt to the grown-up separatists, the young stars have gave up the dream of Twipra Land.

The Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura was a political party in Tripura. Formed on June 9, 1997 when the Tripura Hill People's Party and Tripura Tribal National Conference merged. Initially the Tripura National Volunteers of Bijoy Hrangkwal was supposed to merge into the IPFT, but they withdrew from the project. 

Bijoy Hrangkwal is now running INPT, which has recently demanded not a separate state, but similar things as anyone will have to carry the ‘inner permit card for entering the ADC  areas and additionally also demanded in whole Tripura 50 % reservation for STs.

A clash emerged between Bengalis and Tribals in Tripura during IPFT rally on 23rd August, 2016, which had worsen the situation further striking the communal harmony in the state and now the 48 hrs strike which is fully ignored by the state govt here has made the situation critical on hills.
