AGARTALA, July 21 (TIWN): With the sudden emerged tensions with Tribal/Bengali’s communal clashes one questions are raised by intellectual people : Why this tension has created just one year ahead of Assembly Election ? CPI-M has no developmental agenda, neither it could keep its departments clean from corruption, but with the message of peaceful ruler, leader of communal harmony, is CPI-M trying its best to win the assembly election, just as it won its last election in 1993 ? One thing is clear, Congress as the opposition has remained failed to become an actual threat for left front govt, but within a year with the sudden grow of BJP’s power, the party that not only achieved success to woo voters but also BJP central ministers arriving one after one that is hitting front govt badly.

In this condition the ever-green injury of tribal/ Bengali clashes have been chosen by CPI-M as their poll agenda that will keep the sympathy on CPI-M on hills as well as its anti-IPFT propaganda will manage its majority Bengali people’s votebanks. However, CPI-M's plan failed with Governor Tathagata Roy's intervention to the blockade. 

Since the 2 decades, there was no Tribal/ Bengali clashes in Tripura, whereas suddenly after the opposition’s slumber era has passed, CPI-M has adapted its highest weapon of “Communal Harmony” !

The Satan inside Manik Sarkar has been exposed from his 1992's anti-Bengali statement when he was the Secretary of State CPI-M which was in opposition against ruling Congress. In his own signed statement what Manik Sarkar not only called for Bengali Hindus expulsion to Bangladesh but also demanded inner permit card for Bengalees entering into ADC areas. Manik Sarkar said, "Tribals who were 70 % of the population, during Maharaja's time have now come to 23 %...the 'Bangladeshi foreigners' have started silently invading the TTADC...if this process is not stopped forthwith the Tribal identity itself will be in danger". This statement was placed by Manik Sarkar before CPI-M state committee on 26th Feb. 1992 that further led by Manik Sarkar saying, "During last 48 months, Tribals got tremendously frustrated because they can not place their confidence on the Govt (Congress Govt), which started an undeclared war against the tribal minorities...".

However after coming in power after 1993, Manik Sarkar didn't feel it necessary in his long 24 years of regime for Inner permit or Border security, whereas without VISA, Passport even Jihadis are also staying happily in state.

Even BJP State Tripura Indigenous Leaders Chairman Jishnu Devbarma has accused Sarkar for using people like N C Debbarma to trigger violence whereas it was CPI-M who created the Anti-Bengali propaganda among the the Tribals.

Now this is another time when the politicians are playing their bloody games to woo voters even at the costs of lives.
