Agartala, Apr 25:   A day before the second phase of Lok Sabha elections, the ruling BJP in Tripura on Thursday served a show cause-notice to one of the party’s Vice-Presidents, Patal Kanya Jamatia, who accused Tipra Motha Party (TMP) chief Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma of “spreading hatred” among tribals and non-tribals in the state.

“Our state President Rajib Bhattacharjee would decide on action after getting the reply from Jamatia,” Chakraborty told the media.

A veteran tribal leader, Jamatia, who is also the chairperson of the state-owned Tribal Rehabilitation and Plantation Corporation (TRPC), had alleged that TMP supremo Debbarma “through his narrow politics is spreading hatred among the various ethnic groups like Tripuri, Jamatia, and Reang and tribals and non-tribals”.

She also claimed that Debbarma, a scion of erstwhile Tripura’s royal dynasty, has not only “cheated the tribals in the name of politics involving indigenous people” but also damaged the image and reputation of the state’s royal family.
