Vote bank of Katigorah is safe for AUDF

SILCHAR, May 21: The leaders of AUDF were very happy with the result of the recent Parliamentary election. In the last Assembly election, Maulana Ataur Rahman Mazarbhuiya became victorious securing more than 35,000 votes. But afterwards the lone MLA from Cachar turned out to be unsuccessful in materializing his promises, it was heard from the supporters of the same party.

The supporters of AUDF were in discomfort with their MLA it was guessed on the eve of the Parliamentary election. It was assumed that AUDF would have to experience an erosion in their vote bank. But the result of the just concluded general election proved the assumption wrong as there was an increase in the votes by more than 3,000 in favour of AUDF. The party secured the first position polling with more than 38,000 votes in Katigorah. However, there was an increase of votes in favour of BJP, the Congress have been degraded to the bottom. In the 2006 Assembly election, Congress got about 22,000 votes in the multi party composition, but this time it could poll less than 19,000. It is also a matter of discussion why the larger part of the Muslim Community declined to cast their votes in favor of Congress.Sontosh Mohan Dev secured more than 41,000 votes in 2004 getting support from the larger section of Muslim votes. But the rise of AUDF in 2006 gave a blow to the Congress in securing votes.Once Katigorah was the best strong hold of BJP, but now it was occupied by AUDF. THE SENTINEL
