AGARTALA - Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) led-Left Front nominee Jharna Das (Baidya) was Friday elected to the Rajya Sabha unopposed.

“As 50-year-old Das was the only candidate for the lone Rajya Sabha seat from Tripura, I declared her elected,” returning officer and Tripura assembly secretary Sukhomoy Lodh told IANS.

The Congress did not file any candidate. “As there was no possibility of winning, we did not field any nominee,” state Congress chief Surajeet Datta told IANS.

Das, chairperson of the Tripura State Social Welfare Board, is the second woman from the state to be elected to the Rajya Sabha since 1952.

In 1980, Ela Bhattacharjee, mother-in-law of Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, was elected to the Rajya Sabha.

Japan agreed to eliminate Netaji;
In WW-I, Jap was an ally of British. Before WW-II, Jap-US trade war and political war started, this led to actual war between US and Jap. So British became an enemy to Japan by diplomatic manipulation as US - British alliance was there. After WW-II, Jap revived their old connection with British via spies. Jap and British spies were enough linked before WW-II. Jap spies agreed to eliminate Netaji. Motive was to appease the British and purchase security for Jap royal family. Thus, Japan sold Netaji to British and British eliminated him. The false news of air crash was Japan’s fabrication. In any controversial case, liar is to be suspected first.
Netaji’s plan to start second independence war with the help of USSR was known to Japan. There was enough scope for British and Japanese spies to develop a common minimum program against pro-communist agenda of Netaji. Why should Jap imperialism agree to patronize emergence of independent India as a permanent communist ally? Is it not more logical to fulfill British condition and purchase favor? Why Jap royal family was not tried as a war criminal? What is the mystery behind this favor?
