Agartala, Nov 30(PTI) The Tipra Motha, a regional outfit led by scion of erstwhile royal family Pradyot Kishore Debbarma, is set to hold a demonstration in Delhi next week to press for their demand for a separate state for the indigenous people of Tripura.
Around 1,000 party leaders, workers and supporters will take part in the two-day agitation beginning December 5, to be held next to India Gate or Jantar-Mantar, a senior party leader said on Wednesday.

Assembly elections in Tripura are slated to be held early next year.
