Agartala, Sep 25: Tripura Pradesh Congress is facing tough situation as several indigenous leaders are planning to quit the party showing allegiance to Pradyot Kishore Debbarma.
As many as nine Congress leaders belonging to Indigenous communities of the State resigned from the primary membership of the Party in Agartala today. The move came a day after incumbent PCC Chief Pradyot Kishore Debbarma resigned from the Party yesterday. All these leaders, led by Sachindra Debbarma, are known to be Debbarma loyalists.
In a media briefing at Pradyot’s residence, Sachindra Debbarma said, ‘Pradyot Debbarma is the main reason behind party’s good performance in last Lok Sabha elections but he was ‘betrayed by a faction of veterans’. There exists a faction in the party which was always engaged in lobbyism and encouraged disorder.
Sachindra did not, even spare Congress High Command. He said, the party high command failed to understand the attempts made by Pradyot in reviving the party in Tripura. They could not realize as to how Pradyot worked hard to give the Congress party a shape in Tripura. Disgruntled leaders also informed the media persons that soon they would plan to float a political front with Pradyot being in the lead.
