Speaking to the media, Pradyot Deb Barma has said that we are hoping to win more seats this time. I am not taking any political retirement. I never said I am quitting politics. I will not bow down until my people find a solution. Pradyot Deb Barma said Tipra Motha is the only party that is fighting against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).  

Tipra Motha president Pradyot Deb Barma said, "I was thinking of buying BJP MLAs. If we manage to get 30 seats, I was thinking of selling some parts of my palace and buying some BJP MLAs. If someone sells himself without giving solutions to people, people will defeat them.''
