Description of the flag

Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra (INTP) was founded in 1967 as the Tripura Upajati Juba Samiti (TUJS) [1, 2]. In 2001, Indigenous People's Front of Tripura merged into it and in 2002, the present party name was adopted [1, 3, 4]. Along with the new name, a new flag was adopted, divided vertically green (1/3 of the length) and white (2/3 of the length), with a red star on red field [1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. During the elections, the star may be replaced by the party election symbol "two leaves", but such flags are never hoisted at the party offices [1]. The same election symbol was used by the TUJS [1]. On the flags, it is depicted in green and its exact design seems to vary somewhat, as well as the size [10, 11, 12].

Prior to 2002, the TUJS was using the white-green horizontal bicolor. It was replaced with the current flags when the party was renamed [1].
