voter awareness campaign failed to make impact on Dr.Manmohan Singh, Prim Minister of India, as he did not cast vote here. What do you expect from general public? Though he later on said that he has casted vote throuh Postal Ballot, he had to give the explanation due to report in the media fearing criticism- one feel.

Case against CM

Amid seismic wave of shock and reaction after Pramod Boro’s death in self immolation attempt, the KMSS activist’s wife Purnima Boro blames it all on Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and his revenue minister Prithivi Majhi for the tragic episode.Hours after her husband’s death, Boro, the mother of 2 daughters on Monday filed and FIR against Tarun Gogoi charging the Chief Minister with fuelling the situation where Pramod Bodo had to make self immolation attempt.

But of no avail.He died a hard death in the afternoon five hours after he set himself on fire in Dispur in protest against the land patta distribution function at the Sankardev Kalakhetra.The forty five year old man from Gorchuk area in Guwahati was a carpenter by profession and joined the KMSS eight years ago.

Cable strike called off

A ray of respite for the Guwahatians. The cable operators have called off strike slated for Tuesday.The decision was taken after power minister assured them that he would positively look into their demands. The association would meet again on March 6 where they are expected to take a decision on the next course of action.Much to the worries of the poll bound Congress, cable operators announced black out on Tuesday when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi would be on a two days visit to the state.           

KMSS protestors hit the streets

But they did finally,” he said.He further urged his fellows not to take resort to self immolation adding that the entire episode is a conspiracy by chief minister Tarun Gogoi, who thinks only of the Lok Sabha polls and not the common people.    

Protect water bodies: CM

Chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Monday made it plain and simple that the government won’t allow anybody to occupy forest land and water bodies.In his address at the land patta distribution function at Sankardev Kalakhetra, Gogoi said that the government is committed to provide land for the landless and that it does not mean that all lands are free for these people.His comment assumes significance when KMSS has been agitating for lands in the hills and water bodies.
