More trouble awaits Kamatapur Liberation Organization. The West Bengal police have captured two more top leaders of the Koch Rajbanshi militant outfits.According to information, after the vice chairman Tom Adhikary, police have arrested its deputy commander and finance secretary of the outfit from the Indo-Nepal border. Details are awaited.
In a major setback for Kamatapur Liberation Organization, security forces claimed to have captured its vice chairman on Thursday.Identified as Tom Adhikary, the top KLO leader was held along the Indo-Bhutan border on Thursday during a combing operation. Adhikary was the mastermind behind a recent blast in New Jalpaiguri where 3 people were killed.During the last couple of months KLO has been unleashing terror in BTAD areas in the form of murder and kidnap and extortion. Adhikary was captured hardly a week after security forces claimed to have killed its top leader Brindabon Rajbanshi at an encounter in Kokrajhar.

Congress legislators will vote Bhubneswar Kalita as their first choice candidate. The second preference would in favour of Dr Sanjay Sinh. BPF candidate Biswajeet Daimary would get vote as the third choice candidate.This was more or less of what party legislators decided on Thursday evening after Majarbhuyan’s absence was confirmed by the legislator himself.Chaired by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, the joint meeting was attended by APCC president Bhubneswar Kalita. Bu sources told Assam Times that choice of candidate does not arise when the Opposition candidate falls short of two or three voters.
Stunned by the disturbing development for the Opposition camp just 12 hours before the Rajya Sabha polls on Friday, AIUDF has decided to expel its legislator Ataur Rahman Majarbhuyan.The decision took a final shape at a meeting of the party legislators on Thursday after it became clear that the MLA now in Abu Dhabai is all set to shy away from voting to help the Congress and BPF win the polls.Party president Badaruddin Ajmal told reporters that he would be expelled from the party. He alleged that Majarbhyuan has struck deal with a senior Congress minister along with a former BJP MLA.

But only to be disappointed in the evening.What is more disquieting is that two other AIUDF legislators are likely to follow the suit.
