AGARTALA, Oct. 7 -- A day after the TIPRA Motha party's victory in Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) village council polls, party founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarma on Tuesday said that he would stay away from active politics.

"I will not be in active politics from next month. My father Maharaja Kirit Bikram Manikya always said that leave when you are on the top and not on the way down," Debbarma said, adding that he never planned to join politics and had done so to fight for the rights of Tiprasa people.

"My TIPRA Motha warriors, you all are my family. I will always love you. Be honest and work for people. Stay away from politics but stay close to your people", Debbarma said in a live video from his Facebook page....
