The controversy surrounding the Tripura government’s decision to lease Pushpabanta Palace to the Taj Group for converting it into a 5-star hotel has escalated, drawing sharp reactions from various quarters.
Amid growing protests, Tripura’s royal scion Pradyot Kishore Debbarma has called for inclusive discussions involving all stakeholders before any decision is finalized.

Pradyot, who is the founder of TIPRA MOTHA, reiterated his willingness to present his views, along with those of other concerned parties, to the government. “I am hopeful that the government will invite me for talks. Ego must not come in the way of resolving such an important matter,” he remarked.
