AGARTALA, Oct 20 (TIWN): Even though politics has no link with religion, as religion is considered totally as a holy aspect and internal, personal perspective of people on God, but BJP's continuous politicizing of religion is now turning irritating for common men. After building controversial Ram Mandir at Agartala puja pandal, in Kakrabon of Udaipur a huge Ram idol was built with above Rs. 1 crores of expenditure. That Ram idol to stay at there even after Durga puja although it's a dirty market area surrounded by fish, meat, vegetable shops. Ram is an epic character and part and parcel of Indian tradition but BJP, RSS's attempt to make Lord Ram as the party's property is erupting resentment when state is suffering from thousands of crisis situation. At South Tripura debates started centering Ram Temple building as the Sanatan Sena & BJP have chosen to build Ram Mandir's foundation stone by removing a previous memorial of a communist and tribal rights martyr.

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.

Amid Ram, Tripura King led politics, BJP Govt is far from to fullfil promises of Vision Document. 

There are many promises in the Vision Document whereas in the first page 10 points of promises were highlighted as : 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. But now after 202 days of the Govt formation, unemployment has increased 9%, recruitments are being stopped including TPSC, MGNREGA works are down and zero progress with Vision Document added by Poll-violence, lawlessness, deteriorating law and order condition.
