IPFT MLA Dhananjoy Tripura resigns; joins TIPRA Motha ahead of 2023 polls
Oct 14, 2022In yet another major blow for the IPFT partner, an alliance partner of the ruling BJP in Tripura ahead of the ensuing 2023 assembly elections in Tripura, the sixth MLA Dhananjoy Tripura on Friday resigned from the post and joined the TIPRA Motha. At present the IPFT party’s strength is reduced to six and BJP has 35 MLAs at present. The IPFT MLA of the Raima Valley constituency in Dhalai district accompanied by the TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot Kishore Deb Burman Friday noon tendered his resignation with the speaker of the Tripura Legislative Assembly Ratan Chakraborty.
MLA Dhananjoy’s resignation has come up as a major jolt for the IPFT party ahead of the crucial election in 2023 as he is the sixth MLA of the IPFT party to tender resignation. This perhaps has reduced the strength of the government to 41 out of the 60 members’ house. Meanwhile, the sitting MLA of the IPFT party and also the former minister of the BJP led coalition government Mevar Kumar Jamatia on Thursday night met the TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot Kishore Deb Burman at the Ujjayanta Palace and is likely to bring yet another desert the IPFT and join the TIPRA Motha.
