A line passing through the point P(a,θ)\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{a}, \theta)P(a,θ) makes an acute angle α\alphaα with the positive x -axis. Let this line be rotated about the point PPP through an angle α2\frac{\alpha}{2}2α​ in the clock-wise direction. If in the new position, the slope of the line is 2−32-\sqrt{3}2−3​ and its distance from the origin is 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}2​1​, then the value of 3a2tan⁡2α−233 a^2 \tan ^2 \alpha-2 \sqrt{3}3a2tan2α−23​ is
