AGARTALA, June 21 (TIWN): At last BJP Central leadership gave its assent to the 6 TMC MLAs led by Sudip Roy Barman to join BJP . This decision has been communicated to state BJP unit through its observer Sunil Deodhar and state BJP President Biplab Deb in a meeting held in Kolkata recently, revealed a highly placed TIWN sources in BJP. On Sunday last a crucial meeting was held in a hidden location in Kolkata, where BJP National Organizing Secretary Ram Madhav, Assam Minister cum Convener of North-East Democratic Alliance(NEDA) Himanta Biswa Sharma were present along with state BJP Observer Sunil Deodhar and state BJP President Biplab Deb. Sunil Deodhar,who was in Mumbai recently was flown to Kolkata receiving SOS from Ram Madhav and Himanta, sources revealed .

In this meeting Ram Madhav categorically Biplab and Deodhar ," Central leadership has accepted the proposal given by the 6 TMC MLAs to BJP and at any time in July or maximum in the first week of August 6 TMC MLAs(known as Team Sudip)will join BJP in programme to be held at Agartala.  However, the sources said the date will be finalized later on. 

Accordingly Biplab Deb and Sunil Deodhar have been asked to make situation easy for these MLAs' welcome to Saffron brigade. Along with this Congress MLAs Ratan Lal Nath and Gopal Roy too will join BJP . Thus, with the joining of 8 MLAs a new political equation will come into being in Tripura ahead of the crucial Assembly poll. 

It is to be mentioned here that state BJP unit is not at all happy with this decision but according to TIWN sources ," Biplab & Co will have to agree with BJP central leadership's decision and practically Ram Madhav and Himanta Biswa Sharma have forced Tripura unit to abide by the decision in the name of forming a strong contingent against Manik Sarkar & Co. Ram Madhav came to Kolkata along with Himanta Biswa Sharma to attend the meeting and soon after this he flew to Delhi for BJP Headquarters. And both Biplab Deb and Sunil Deodhar assured the leaders( under pressure though ) that they will make things easier. "

According to highly placed TIWN sources, Team Sudip has also been informed about this and Sudip Barman too is learnt to have assured the BJP leaders that already instructions have been given to TMC workers and office bearers to start strengthening BJP's organization at their concerned areas. Meanwhile Congress MLA Ratan Lal Nath and Gopal Roy will join BJP within a few days, revealed the sources.

However, with this new political drama some questions have already started to raise :-

Is BJP leadership playing a big gamble ?
1. Will CM Manik Sarkar have an extra edge before 2018 Assmbly Poll as Sudip Barman will act as Manik's spy ?
2. Will this U turn from Team Sudip invite split in BJP ?
3. Will leaders like Ratan Chakraborty, Surajit Datta , Subal Bhowmik accept them to BJP gladly ?
4. Will other BJP leaders and Karyakartas remain in BJP ?
5. Will BJP too become a B Team of CPI-M as Sudip will make BJP weaker like he and his father Samir Barman did for 4 decades ?
6. Will the inner clash in BJP, is it seemingly bright future ?

Has CM Manik Sarkar made the blue print for this new drama to save his CPI-M dynasty of 24 years ? How much money will goto Sudip's pocket ?

It is to be mentioned here that over the years Sudip Barman & Co are known to have played dirty games within Congress weakening party, creating lobbyism in order to keep Manik Sarkar led Left regime intact for almost 19 years along with previous five years under Late Dasharath Debbarma .

Sudip's father cum former CM Samir Ranjan Barman paved the way for CPI-M's return to power in Tripura due to the misrule under his leadership and that period is still regarded as Black Days the history of Tripura.  

Now all on a sudden when common people of Tripura including a large section from the Left dugout is showing pro-BJP attitue this sudden joining of Sudip Roy Barman & Co  to Saffron Brigade may seem to be a good news for the anti-CPI-M people but political experts predict that

BJP likely  heading towards the biggest political blunder in its seemingly fertile soil ahead of 2018 Assembly Poll in Tripura.
