SILCHAR, April 29: State’s Excise Minister Gautam Roy hit back at his arch-rival Sahidul Alom Chowdhury branding him as a rigging master. Earlier, the AGP leader and former minister in erstwhile Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, Chowdhury branded Roy as the rigging master and demanded shifting of EVMs from Hailakandi’s SS College to some safer place in Karimganj.
It is to be noted that both these leaders from Hailakandi district are known for their open rivalry. In the last Assembly election, Sahidul Alom lost his Algapur seat to Roy’s son Rahul.Sahidul Alom maintained a low-profile stature during electioneering in the just concluded LS election. He was not seen in a single meeting to promote his party ally BJP in either of the two seats in Barak valley.
But interestingly Sahidul Alom started raising fingers at Roy once the election was over. He branded Roy as a ‘rigging master’ and apprehended that the latter would manipulate the EVMS stored in SS College.
Roy was the last person to seat idle to this allegation and hence he hit back at Sahidul Alom branding him as the father of rigging. Roy said, in the past Sahidul Alom was charged with the allegation of manhandling an SP as he was caught red-handed while rigging during an Assembly election. The case was registered in the court too and Sahidul later begged his pardon to the police officer. Roy further said, if he had any plan to rig the election, Sahidul would have found himself in jail. The Excise Minister said, sensing defeat Sahidul Alom now planned to provoke the common Muslim people of the district create law and order Situation. THE SENTINEL
