BJP VP Patal Kanya Jamatia slams TIPRA Motha over attack on party workers


The ruling BJP state vice-president Patal Kanya Jamatia on Tuesday made a scathing attack on the opposition TIPRA Motha party and alleged that the Motha chairman Pradyot Kishore Deb Burman is cheating with the innocent Motha workers here in the state in the name of ‘Greater Tipraland’.

Her allegation came up on Tuesday after at least three persons who had quit the TIPRA Motha party and joined the BJP in a joining programme at Ompinagar, were attacked.

She alleged, “At one end the TIPRA Motha chairman is meeting our Chief Minister and BJP party leaders secretly and sometime he is seen flying to Delhi and Guwahati to meet our party leaders and on the other the innocent Tiprasas in the Motha party here are made to sit for protest in the name of Geater Tipraland demand.”

As many as 87 tribals from 33 families at Ompinagar had quit the TIPRA Motha party and joined the BJP on Tuesday in a joining programme. Following this a section of unruly Motha workers discovered an attack on three persons identified as Dhanaram Reang, Upendra Reang and another Dharendra Reang and left them injured, alleged Patal Kanya Jamatia. The incident took place while they were returning from the joining programme.

She rushed to the Ompinagar hospital to visit the injured persons and alleged that worried about the party's existence, the TIPRA Motha is discovering an attack on the workers of the BJP party.

Jamatia accompanied by other BJP leaders of Ompinagar assembly constituency handed over the BJP party flag with the newly joined workers to welcome them in the party.
