TIPRA Motha Calls for Voter Roll Revision in Tripura
TIPRA Motha, a political party in Tripura, wants the voter list checked.
They believe some people on the list shouldn't be there, specifically undocumented migrants.
They want a special review like the one happening in Bihar.
Their concern is that if these people keep coming, Tripura might change a lot.
The government is also trying to find undocumented migrants, but has a different timeline.
The Citizenship Amendment Act is also mentioned, as it deals with giving citizenship to refugees from some countries.
TIPRA Motha, a BJP ally in Tripura, has demanded a voter roll revision.
The party seeks a survey to identify undocumented migrants allegedly in the rolls.
TIPRA Motha leaders met with Election Commission officials to present their demands.
This request follows the state government's district-level task forces to find undocumented migrants.
The Citizenship Amendment Act provides a path to citizenship for refugees from specific religious groups.
