AGARTALA, May 22 (TIWN): Northeast India's Tribal regional parties Anti-Bangladeshi, Anti-Bengali, Anti-North Indian type of sentiments are playing a major role against the BJP’s one-way political ambition of “Akhand-Bhatat”(United India). BJP's “Ek-Tripura, Shrestha Tripura” like concepts are yet to materialize and far from a major section of Triibal separatist sentiment. BJP’s high ambition to free India from Congress met a jolt after Congress won over the Karnataka election recently. Hence after the election result at Karnataka, Amit Shah while addressing in NEDA conclave, had reminded the Northeast people regarding the Congress led “deprivation to Northeast zone” since independence.

Shah also boosted Modi’s Act East Policy to boost BJP led developmental works in Northeast, asking the leaders to free Northeast from "Algawad" and narrow-mentality. 

Under BJP’s alliance Northeast regional separatists parties like IPFT are almost moving radderless against majority Bengali inhabitants, but still ‘alliances’ remained together ahead of Lok Sabha election.

Amid various ideological clashes and fighting by IPFT, the alliance of regional parties with BJP have remained united on paper  but faction ridden in reality.

Parties like CPI-M and Congress had been strongly opposing the IPFT like separatist parties have failed to fulfill the expectations of a larger section of Tribal voters this time, whereas BJP under NEDA leaderships have somehow manipulated into the power.

A strange situation is going on across Northeast where NEDA members like IPFT in front of Amit Shah never stressed land division issue or seperate TIPRALAND, whereas inside state various protests, violent clashes against even BJP were also launched by the same IPFT.

Both BJP and the regional parties likely to lose their existence from the hierarchy without each other, forcing them  to hold the alliance.

But even though Amit Shah on Sunday’s NEDA conclave motivated for a Northeast which will be free from ‘Algawad’ but in reality tensions are felt in Tripura’s ADC like areas everyday due to the strong existence of Algawad. Not only this, this Algawad got a life since BJP’s alliance with the IPFT.

 On the other side, IPFT Chief NC Debbarma didn’t utter a single word against Amit Shah’s “Algawad-free Northeast” concept.

IPFT's anti-Bengali separatist stance will  likely to shift majority voters loyality towards CPI-M ,  so BJP may see a downfall in 2019 Lok Sabha Election.
