SILCHAR, Feb 22: The Union Minister Santosh Mohan Dev’s name has been sent to the state committee of Congress by the district unit as the first choice for party’s nominee in Silchar for the coming general election. However this is for the first time a second choice has also been nominated by the District Congress Committee (DCC).
Apart from Silchar block, Silchar town and Sonai all the other 12 block level committees of the ruling party in the district had the name of Dinesh Prasad Goala, State’s Urban Development Minister as the other choice. The district committee in its meeting yesterday has decided to send the names of both the contenders with Dev being the first choice. The name of Pradip Dutta Roy the other contender, did not even figure in yesterday’s meeting. It is to be noted that Goala, a Hindi-speaking tea community leader had expressed his willingness for nomination last time also but respecting Dev’s request he withdrew himself from the race. Dev had reportedly assured Goala that next time he would not be a contender. Goala in a recent press-meet, said this time nothing could stop him from seeking nomination. However, he did not forget to remind that whoever gets the nomination the party would fight unitedly. Source: The Sentinel
