AGARTALA, Nov 16 (TIWN): JUMLA style False propaganda to fool public continuing by none other than Tripura's Motormouth to hide Modi's deprivation. During inaugural speech in Northeast Youth Festival at Agartala, Tripura Chief Minister Bplab Deb said that Modi Act East Policy did true development for Tripura and other Northeats states whereas Congress Govt's Look East failed to 'focus' in Northeast. Praising PM Modi, Deb said, "Earlier it was Look East Policy, but now it's Act East Policy which has initiated real development in the Northeast. PM Modi has mentioned about Asta Laxmi and those Asta Laxmi are these eight Northeast states". But when Asta Laxmi like terms have been used to signify the development on this hilly zone under Modi Govt, Verma Committee Data bared open various reasons behind failure in implementing 7th CPC Central Pay-scales in Tripura. 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 BJP Govt’s failure to give 7th Pay Commission is 100% 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. In a press confernce CPI-M two ex-Finance Ministers Badal Choudhury, Bhanu Lal Saha have also raised the issue.

"State's Own Revenue Receipt is about 20 % of the total receipt of the State which indicates heavy dependence on funds under Revenue Deficit Grant/ Share of Union Taxes, There is not much increase in the Non Plan Gap Grant and the FC Grant during the years 2015 to 2018", said the Committee report revealing how Tripura was fooled in taxing by the Modi Govt.

In each sector Modi had slashed funding leading Tripura CM to suggest unemployed youths to rear cows.
