For the first time, the Northeast will play a very significant role in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections. The hurly burly affairs of Indian politics have come out from the ghetto of Hindi belt.

Modi’s dream of returning to Delhi Durbar will depend on the performance of saffron brigade in the eastern flank of India—especially Northeast. The premier two parties—BJP and Congress will be eyeing the 25 Northeastern seats. The Shah of BJP has set the benchmark for his party cadres. He wants to win at least 21 seats. Of the 123 seats, which BJP lost in 2014—the twin seats of Barak Valley—Silchar and Karimganj were also there. BJP is desperate to win Silchar. It is not pinning hopes on Karimganj because this border town is dominated by minorities.

The answer is simple: superlative degree. If you try to find out any grammatical mistake in it, you are reminded of the recent drama that was staged in Shillong concerning the Kolkata Police Commission Rajeev Kumar and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).       

The financial frauds committed by Kolkata-based Rose Valley and Sharadha were of such dimensions that they really can be termed as gems of Indian scams. Like the gems, they had been sparkled to prove that no scam really can take place without political umbrella.  

The two scams created storms in Northeast India as Tripura, Assam and finally Shillong were linked to it. The scamsters also swindled millions in across the country but mainly in West Bengal, Tripura and Assam. Interestingly, the scams would have their ripples in these states in the coming general elections in India.

East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner transferred

East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner Matsiewdor War Nongbri has been transferred ahead of Lok Sabha poll which to be held on 11th April in Meghalaya. According to sources, Pravin Bakshi will be appointed as the new deputy commissioner. Sources said that the transfers have been ordered in view of the recent directions issued by the Election Commission of India.

It was informed that the Election Commission recently has directed all State Governments to transfer officials posted in their home districts and those who have spent three years in a district in the last four years. It is usual for the poll panel to issue such directions ahead of Lok Sabha or assembly polls to ensure that officials do not interfere in the election process in any way and the exercise remains free and fair.

The Commission made it clear that though large number of employees would be drafted for election duty, it does not want to carry out large-scale dislocation of the state machinery. It said the transfer directive is not applicable to those not directly connected with the elections. The January 16 direction made it clear that officials against whom it had recommended disciplinary action in the past in any election should not be assigned poll-related duty

We are in the same boat brothers

“We are in the same boat brothers”, is the title song of Bhupen Hazarika, which is prophetic yet true. People of the North Eastern Region, connected by the Siliguri Chicken neck to mainland India, tucked away in the back waters of the country, yet being a sensitive strategic corner, having international borders with foreign countries including Bangladesh, Myanmar and China, need special attention for constructive development, which should be meaningful to the diverse people inhabiting the region, especially having rich resources such as oil, tea and minerals.
