Addressing the party workers, Pradyot said, "I was in Congress and other political parties but have not been able to do anything for my people, who have remained deprived of their rights for decades. So I thought of forming a new political party that would think about and work for the indigenous tribal people who need to get a separate land in the name of 'Tipraland'."

"I have requested all the indigenous people to assemble and fight for the rights they deserve," he added.
