AGARTALA, May 26 (TIWN): Narendra Modi led Union Govt’s contribution to Tripura is huge in terms of success rate of bringing Broad Gauge Railway connectivity and establishing 3rd Internet Gateway in Tripura within 4 years of Governance. Although amid increasing arrogance of party leaders of BJP in UP, Bihar and now in Tripura the Modi Govt is losing popularity fueled by oppositions allegations, the Act East policy of Modi Govt still likely to continue the BJP flow across Northeast for a long time in coming days. Fuel price, unemployment, corruption allegation even though working out across the country but in case of Northeast, BJP led central govt's developmental works impacts is still influencing the public mind. Congress can blame the BJP Govt, but can not deny its cut-off with Northeast for long 70 years of Independence. Central funding without any guidance and 'checking' motivated corruption in Northeast for last two decades, which has left Congress as unpopular in this hilly zone.

"Look East" Policy of the Congress, couldn't act until PM Modi had introduced "Act East Policy". 

Till 2016, Tripura did not have any railway connectivity except metre gauge but now state has various express trains and more attempts for connectivity development have been taken in hands.

It's almost true that the new BJP Govt in Tripura came under tornado of  allegations with its attempt to compromise with recruitment policy, state govt appointed employees terminations under JICA project, delaying of Vision Documents promises including regularization, social pensions hike, but till now the performance of BJP led Central Govt towards Northeastern states was far better than the Congress-zamana.

There was no dashboard to measure the corruption of the Northeast state govt, whereas BJP had constituted NITI Aayog to utilize the central funds. Due to NITI Aayog various scams including MGNREGA have exposed in the last few years in Tripura. 

Digitization, cheap data prices for internet and calls were also not possible in Congress era. One can remind how costly only 1 GB internet was before Jio came. 

However, state BJP government just has crossed 2 and half months but when it comes about the comparison among Central Govts, then there is no doubt that BJP has been better for Northeastern states than Congress.

BJP at least politically gave importance to Northeast and from Amit Shah to PM Modi all top heads of BJP had dedicated rallies ahead of Election which is leading Tripura like states in national reports very often now a days.
