GUWAHATI, May 19: In a book release function held in Silchar on May 16, Union Minister Santosh Mohan Dev, who represents Silchar in the Lok Sabha, gave a clarion call to the people of Barak Valley to launch an agitation so as to force the completion of the Broad Gauge and East-West Corridor projects, which have been affected due to militancy in NC Hills district. But agitation against whom? Obviously against the government of the day. And who is leading the government — both at Dispur and New Delhi? It is the Congress. And who is Mr Santosh Mohan Dev? A Congress MP from Silchar who is a minister in the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre, and who is thus a part of the government. Which means Mr Dev is calling upon the people of Barak Valley to agitate against none but himself and his party!
The Silchar MP is either trying to conceal his own incompetence or making a shrewd move to provoke his own people and divert their attention so that his accountability as their representative is not questioned. Here is an MP trying to make a fool of his own constituency. Will the people be taken for a ride? Source: Sentinel Assam 20.05.08
