AGARTALA, Oct 24 (TIWN): Tripura reels under severe Fund crisis in BJP era as State is celebrating Laxmi Puja on Wednesday. Modi Govt's deprivation to Northeast state Tripura under fake-slogan of 'Act East Policy' was exposed in Verma Committee led report which clearly mentioned how since 2014 Modi Govt has been depriving Tripura and created a crisis situation and as a result 7th Pay Commission could never implement in Tripura till day. Since March 3rd, 2018 the deprivation with Tripura has gone on peak as State BJP Govt never to allege about "fund crisis" and deprivation situation. Price hikes have hit the market, vegetable prices are skyrocketing and poor people are the highest sufferers due to the crisis situation followed by almost nil govt provided mandays for BPL families in last 7 months. Thus, prayers on air to Goddess Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth that Modi would allocate funds for Tripura for real development overcoming his statue politics and manipulation of Indian History. The poor families are the highest victims whom BJP promised to give Rs. 2000 social pension, to hike wage at Rs. 340 (minimum) since 2018, March effect. Moreover, statewide roads remained broken, without maintenance due to fund crisis in PWD.

Noteworthy, Verma Committee data bared open various reasons behind failure in implementing 7th CPC Central Pay-scales in Tripura. As a result there is no good news even for Govt employees which has affected the markets heavily. Earlier, it was said by BJp before Election, when 7th Pay Commission will be given and salaries will be double then unemployed youths to earn heavily, economic boom will boost the markets, but 2018-Laxmi Puja remained with "penny" given by Modi. 

Even though before the election Modi, Amit Shah propagated that 7th Pay Commission with Central Pay Scale to be given from March 4th and all BJP ruled states implemented 7th pay Commission, but in reality no other state could implement 7th Pay Commission as same as Centre. In case of Tripura reason behind JUMLA-Pay Commission is just vand just No-Central-Funding.

From the Verma Committee report it has been learnt that due to Central deprivation and Fund crisis, Tripura BJP Govt could not allocate Central Pay scale. In Verma Committee report it has been clearly said that since 2014 fund deprivation started with Tripura and thus no Govt could implement 7th Pay Commission. Shockingly Verma Committee has said that since 2014 (Modi Govt) the funding decreased. Committee report says, "It is observed that the receipt from the Central Government started falling after 2014-15 and obviously it has severely affected the finances of the State Government. Under these circumstances the options for the State Government were limited to reduce the development expenditure and avoid any further expenditure on salaries". Thus there is no doubt that Modi Govt created economic blockade for Manik Sarkar's Govt and even after change in Govt in state nothing has been changed.
