		In a candid interview with Hardnews, Sarkar was caught in three different moods: critical about the centre's role in the economic development of his state and the northeast; non-committal about the centre's response towards the long-standing demands made by Tripura; and supportive of Delhi only on the question of fighting Indian insurgents operating from Bangladesh.
		Not quite the stuff one would have expected to hear from the leader of a party that supports the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
