IPFT gained its political breakthrough in the elections to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council in 2000 . The underground National Liberation Front Of Tripura had declared that only IPFT would be allowed to contest the elections. The only ones to defy the NLFT diktat were the Left Front , inspite a series of assassinations, death threats and kidnappings. The elections were won by IPFT, largely due to the support from NLFT. TNV supported IPFT in the elections. Shortly after the elections TNV joined IPFT. In 2001 Tripura Upajati Juba Samiti merged with IPFT to form the Indigenous Nationalist Party Of Tripura , after pressure from NLFT. |
