Tipra Motha Party

The Tipra Motha Party (TMP), also known as the Tipraha Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance, is a regional political party and previously a social organisation in Tripura, India. The TIPRA is led by Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma. It is currently the second largest party in Tripura Legislative Assembly.

On 25 Feb 2019, Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma was appointed the President of Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee. Within a few months, Deb Barma resigned from the Pradesh Congress President post, accusing the Congress high command of pressuring him to accommodate 'corrupt people'. Almost three months later, he formed a social organisation to work for the rights of the indigenous people.

On 5 February 2021, Deb Barma announced that his organisation had become a political party and would contest the 2021 Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council election.

The Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra (INPT), Tipraland State Party (TSP) and IPFT (Tipraha) merged with the TIPRA in 2021.

In the 2023 Tripura Legislative Assembly Election, TIPRA Motha fielded over 42 candidates in different constituencies. The party won 13 seats and became the first regional party in Tripura to become the main opposition.

In March 2024, Tipra Motha joined Manik Saha-led Tripura government and Animesh Debbarma and Brishaketu Debbarma were sworn in as minister and Minister of State.

TIPRA's main objective is the creation of a new state called 'Greater Tipraland' under Articles 2 & 3 of the Constitution of India. The Motha emphasises Tipra nationalism, using the slogans "Puila Jati, Ulobo Jati" and "Puila Jati, Ulo Party" (Community first, party later). It aims to first empower and emancipate the Tiprasa people before anything else. The party sees its activities as a peoples' movement rather than a political one.

In 2023, Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused Tipra Motha of being allied with Congress and the CPI (M). This was denied by Deb Barma, who claimed he could not be a communist ally due to his royal ancestry, being the son of the last King of Tripura.
