AGARTALA, Nov 19 (TIWN): JUMLA Party’s identity crisis forcing BJP to misuse legacies of all great national icons like Netaji Subhas, Sardar Patel who were strongly anti-RSS and BJP’s communal politics. Fake Vision Document is unable to generate any kind of development under JUMLA-Raj of Biplab-Pratima Govt and 8 months old BJP Govt's scams are being exposed everyday, now freedom fighters and Kings / Queen are getting places in BJP's election propaganda. Ahead of Lok Sabha Election, BJP has drummed party slogans with Jhansi Queen Lakshmibai and paining her picture in saffron colour on her birth anniversary. A huge scooter rally in Jhansi Rani style, BJP Mohila Morcha marked her birth anniversary with Jai-Sree-Ram slogans. Prime Minister Modi said Rani Lakshmibai is a source of inspiration for every Indian.

“Her fortitude in the face of adversity and steadfast opposition to colonialism will never be forgotten. It is due to greats like her that India won freedom", said Modi. 

BJP General Secretary Pratima Bhowmik, Minister Santana Chakma, BJP Mohila Morcha President Papiya Datta, MLA Kalyani Roy led the main programme at Agartala Old Jail field and the scooter riding women also carried 'taloyar' (sword) in hands in saffron colour dress to give a sense of Jhansi Queen's influence on BJP ideology.

Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi, was the queen of the princely state of Jhansi in North India currently present in Jhansi district in Uttar Pradesh, India. She was one of the leading figures of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and became a symbol of resistance to the British Raj for Indian nationalists.

It has been the latest strategy of BJP to woo vote banks ahead of Lok Sabha 2019 Election focused and to gain that BJP desperately has misused Netaji Subhas, Sardar Patel to Tripura Kings Bir Bikram, Birchandra Manikya names, building statues, claiming these great anti-communal secular  visionary legacy.

So Modi now claiming Netaji Subhas legacy, then constructed Rs 3000 crores Sardar Patel Statue, now under Amit Shah, Modi’s direction, Biplab Deb also in Statue construction spree from Dharmanagar’s Maharaja Bir Bikram to Ram Statue near Biplab’s home in Udaipur.

Congress ridiculed the prime minister and flayed him for dragging Netaji and Sardar Patel into politics. "Those who do not have their own ideas and idols, and have zero contribution to the National Movement, are trying to attribute and appropriate the legacy of our FreedomFighters, in an attempt to be perceived nationalist. Today, Modi desperately tried to do the same," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi told reporters in Delhi.

There are similar politics with statues going as instead of developing the community and releasing funds from centre for ADC development, CM and his party are now inaugurating idols of Tripura's former king alleging these Kings were not "valued" by CPI-M, Congress earlier. On October 16 a statue of King Bir Bikram Manikya was inaugurated at Dharmanagar with saffron colour's veils. 

Ahead of such politics, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy during his visit in Tripura that Lok Sabha Election will be fought not on the basis of Economy, rather Hindutva and Ram Mandir, for the first time in Tripura Epic(mythological) King Ram was worshiped.BJP leader Subal Bhowmik also visited the puja held in front of Rabindra Bhawan, Agartala.

Now question is who will fulfill these promises laid in the first page of Vision Document ?

 1)One employment opportunity in each household,

2)Free Education for Women Till graduation,

 3) 7th Pay Commission for all Govt employees & state pensioners,

 4) Free smart phones to youths,

5) Minimum allowance will be Rs. 2000 & Minimum wage will be Rs. 340,

6)Investigate Rose Valley Chit fund case & punish all the guilty,

7) Provide Housing to all without brick housing,

8) Free Health insurance to all BPL Households,

9) Provide drinking water to all households, 

10) Regularize contractual govt employees.

Today's rally also marked with "Jay-Sree-Ram" slogan as if Sri Ram has become BJP / RSS's party property.
