Santosh Mohan Dev a failed politician : Gautam Roy

SILCHAR, Jan 28: Excise Minister Gautam Roy, while attending an open meeting recently, said he will now concentrate more on Silchar than his home constituency Hailakandi. He said his MLA son Rahul will look after Hailakandi. Roy expressed his enthusiasm for the ensuing Lok Sabha elections and openly said that Santosh Mohan Dev, Congress heavy weight who has been representing Silchar in the Lok Sabha for three decades, was a failed politician.

Roy, further pulling down the curtain of the much-hyped ego clash between him and his son, said he was very happy with the work of his son. THE SENTINEL
