Under Sarkar's able chief ministership Tripura has seen its first dose of foreign funding
Communists have a way of working around their communism occasionally to get capitalist cash into their state: and when they succeed, they become chief ministers, and stay there. For Manik Sarkar, that has meant a third term in a far-flung state where even central funding was a problem; under Sarkar the state has now seen its first funding from abroad.
Just now, as the man gets comfortable in the chief minister’s chair, one that has been his for more than 10 years now, his list of achievements is something to write home about: a steady decline in insurgency, increase in private investment, remarkable improvement in the higher education sector, successful implementation of public-private partnership model... the list, as his supporters like to point out, is long. Given the politician’s prized cake of continuity, Sarkar’s government is viewing natural gas, bamboo and natural rubber as the three main opportunity sectors in the state. To Sarkar, though, it is his government’s success on the insurgency front that is the most important of all. "With the two-and-a-half-decade-old militancy showing signs of abating, countries such as China, Japan, Germany, Thailand & Bangladesh, not to mention Indian investors, have shown interest in Tripura," he told B&E. Sarkar has also been advocating the linking of the East-West corridor through Tripura. “Tripura has 44 km long border with Assam in the plains area, and a 865 km border with Bangladesh. The state can really become the gateway for the North-east to South- east Asia.”
