Tripartite Treaty on GTA

Shakespeare said,"What's in a name'?But, in fact, sometimes there's much in a name.Yes,I'm referring to Gorkhaland Territorial Administration(GTA).GJM has long been agitating for a separate Gorkhaland state.New govt under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee has not offered GJM a separate state named Gorkhaland but territorial autonomy under the name GTA.A tripartite treaty would be signed today in this regard.Perhaps nobody except state govt, central govt and GJM who're party to the treaty knows about its contents.Even the leader of the opposition is reportedly kept in the dark about what has been incorporated in the agreement.Naturally, though invited, he's not agreed to be present at the time of signing the treaty.However, he's dead against the word 'Gorkhaland' in the name of autonomous council(GTA).He's afraid the very name would pave the way to division of Bengal once more in future.A part of Terai region and Dooars would be included in Gokhaland Territory, hunt for which would be made by a 9-member committee.However, a section of people in these regions have started agitation against inclusion of their regions in the territory of Gorkhaland.

But why have GJM so happy over the treaty, though their main demand for separate state has not been concede to?So far it's known GTA has been given much greater autonomy than before.That apart they've been promised by the Central govt to pay Rs200.0 crores each year for developmental activities.. What's more, they see the name Gorkhaland as a stepping stone which would help them carry forward their movement of separate state more easily and logically too.In fact,their leaders have minced no words and categorically declared that they've not parted with their demand for separate Gorkhaland.
