Animesh Debbarma had joined Tipra Motha before the TTAADC election and went on to rise up the ladder in the party. He is a 2-time MLA and had had his first stint as a member of legislative assembly back in 2003.
Brishaketu Debbarma, he has been a lawyer, an activist and a politician and was the first to leave IPFT back in 2021 and join the Tipra Motha. Brishaketu Debbarma had won from Simna assembly seat on an IPFT ticket in 2018 and repeated the feat in 2023 on a Tipra Motha ticket.
