AGARTALA, Oct 26 (TIWN): Even though with a "gap" of 4 years without Netaji-Bhajana Modi Govt suddenly engaged in full wave to recall NetajiSubash Ch. Bose as Indian Freedom Fighter, but long pending demand of announcing Netaji SubashChandra Bose as the Leader-of-the-Nation remained yet unfulfilled. When Lok Sabha 2019 Election BJP's focus is to propagate Netaji Subhas, Sardar to create anti-Congress sentiments which includes even Tripura King Maharaja Bir Bikrama ManikyaBahadur, it can be recalled that even though ahead of Assembly Election 2018, PM Modi greeted Tripura on Tripura King Birbikram Kishore Manikya's birth anniversary but after winning the election, Modi has not greeted the King.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. After Kings and Freedom Fighters it comes about BJP's politics with even India's mythological and popular epic character Ram, whom BJP has made almost a personal property.

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.  

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 SabhaElection 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.
