Earlier, Pradyot stated his intention to send his 'own people' to Delhi as Members of Parliament for Lok Sabha, emphasizing that this step would contribute to the fulfilment of their accord signed with the Central government.

Reports indicate that Kriti Singh, Pradyot's elder sister, who is married and settled in Jharkhand, returned to Tripura soon after the tripartite agreement between the Centre, Tripura Government, and Tipra Motha.

An indication of her involvement was evident on Monday last when Kirti Singh was seen on the dais with Pradyot during a party meeting in Khowai.
