AGARTALA, May 4 (TIWN): Ahead of Assembly Election-2018 Tripura CPI-M is now eying for tribal vote banks by adopting INPT model demanding 'more power to ADC'. ADC CMD Radhacharan Debbarma, MP Jiten Chowdhury raised the issue to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at New Delhi. However, whereas the Modi government is considering demands to provide more autonomy to 16 autonomous district councils (ADCs) in Northeast India, CPI-M leaders are politicizing the issue with attempts to create racial tension in state. However, since 24 years ADC was the functioning as the goldmine for CPI-M to loot the Central fund, leaving the ADCs undeveloped without even water, power facility to those areas. But as the election is coming closure, the sudden emerging tribal sympathy in CPI-M has raised further doubt about the actual plan of CPI-M. Moreover, what will be the condition of Tripura, if CPI-M wins in 2018 election and rule for more 5 years. CPI-M failed to develop ADC in 24 years, then how far it will develop ADC in next 5 years it's under doubt.

The unemployment rate, govt employees deprivation, decline of Agriculture, MGNREGA corruptions---- will all diminish ? Will 10,323 teachers fates will change ? and most imporatnt question is will tribal youths vote for CPI-M in 2018 amidst IT corruptions ?

It's worthy to mention here that Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) Chief Executive member Radha Charan Debbarma in a meeting  Home Minister Rajnath Singh and discussed issues related to the ADCs. 

"We have been demanding more powers and autonomy for ADCs. Rajnath Singh assured us that the central government was considering all aspects, including more autonomy to these bodies," Debbarma told IANS over phone from New Delhi.  He was accompanied by Lok Sabha member Jitendra Chowdhury and TTAADC Executive member Rajendra Reang. 

However, another question raises, like 10,323 case Jiten chaudhury will cite example of 'achhe din', which he said after meeting the Central HRD Minister Prakash Javedkar ?

Of these, six ADCs are in Manipur, three each in Assam, Meghalaya and Mizoram and one in Tripura. "We also sought more power and autonomy to village committees under the ADCs. The gram panchayats outside ADCs jurisdiction now enjoy more power."

In reality the NITI Aayog had reduced funds for ADCs in 2016 seeing the corruption inside the state. Moreover, Radhacharan Debbarma also failed to send utilization certificate on ADC expenditure as well as ST fund expenditure. Thus due to fund crisis, the leaders are feeling more ADCs in here so that the election goes smoothly.

If Govt wished 24 years were enough to look after the tribal community which has been lagged behind and cut of all facilities including power, water and transport till day.
