SINGING AND DANCING 

Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, contesting from two constituencies in Garo Hills his home Ampati and Songsak had ventured into Mawsynram, where Pynshngain N. Syiem of the Peoples Democratic Front is pitted against Hiamalaya Shangpliang of the Congress which is considered to be a prestigious contest. Mukul Sangma had landed in a helicopter at Dangar in a campaign for Himalaya Shangpliang. Mukul in a bid to attract the  crowd, had went  into  sing song, so as to woo the crowd of Dangar, bordering Bangladesh, having a mixed  population of Khasi, Garo, Bengali  and  Hindi speaking  people. The contest in Mawsynram   constituency is mainly of the PDF and the Congress. In the end of the meeting, Mukul Sangma, picked up a sword with shield and started dancing which amused the gathering, more than the speeches. This might have also amused Pynshngain Syiem who  was the Syiem of the Khasi  state  of  Hima  Mawsynram, as he could not afford to  be seen as a singing  and dancing  king.

A  HAND BAG AND THAT JACKET

Political  personalities  running  around  the  North  Eastern  electoral states  are crying  and  preaching  for  the  cause  of  the  welfare  of  the  poor  and  the  down  trodden,  the   have-nots  in  the  society  both  in  the  rural  and  the  urban  areas. Congress  President  himself  Rahul Gandhi, visiting a musical show in Shillong, wore a fashionable  rupees 63,000  jacket,  which caught  the  attention  of  specially  the  young  crowd ,  most  of  whom  are  bound  to  be  jealous, yet  cannot  afford to own  one. Yet  it was  the  talk  of  the  town,  not  of  whom to  vote  and  support,  but  of  the  Rahul  jacket. On  the  other  hand  the  BJP  preach  that the party  is  all out  for  the  poor, Union  Minister Smriti Irani  in  an  election mission to Shillong was  seen  swinging  a Louis Vuitton  purse, worth  over  rupees one lakh. The big- wig political parties of the Nation, though high in promises, have exhibited  in fashion profile, which the common people cannot affords.

NAPKINS FOR BABIES 

Napkins are for babies, who are still innocent, far from being  aware  of  the  electoral  noise  that is going around them, the hoarse  shouts  in  the  streets  drowning their cries.  However the elections, have brought a promise  for  the  young  ones  of  free  sanitary  napkins. The Congress has challenged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), that it can provide napkins all over in rural and urban areas. The (AICC) Mahila President, Sushmita Dev was confident  that  free  BJP  napkins for  babies  will  not  see  the  light  of  day  and  also other  promises of the party. Sushmita said that she had already asked the government to exempt GST on sanitary napkins, so that it becomes a product that is affordable in the remotest part of the country. If babies can cast their votes, surely they would rally behind the promise of Sushmita.
