Pradyot Debbarma was once a close aide of Rahul Gandhi. What made the two fallout with each other is not known till date. However, Pradyot is clearly much more intelligent and shrewd than Rahul Gandhi.
Unfortunately though, he has misused his status as the “Bubagra” to stoke ethnic tensions in Tripura. Tripura has witnessed rampant terrorism over the last four decades resulting in thousands of deaths. The post-Partition refugees from Bangladesh, mostly Hindu Bengalis, were the main targets of the tribal militants. There has been a series of massacres – the most infamous one being the Mandai massacre (1300 Bengalis murdered).
Instead of using his royal status as the Bubagra to bring peace and harmony and heal old wounds, he has openly stoked ethnic tensions. He has been virulently anti-refugee all through the campaign and has made all out efforts to stoke anti-Bengali feelings of the various tribal communities. While this may have helped him electorally, it has been disastrous for the state.
