Despite the raising complaints of  corruption & allegation against the rulling
Congress (I) party, they may still capture the power in the ensuing panchayat 
election at Sivasagar District.  Opposition parties have failed to create an
anti-incumbency wave and to stand a common candidates against the congress
candidates.   Ddivision of votes among opposition will help   Congress.
This time, at Nazira there are 822 candidates   including  623 Ward members for
20 Gaon Panchayat  & 87 Anchalic members, 65 independent candidates in G.P.
level & 87 independent candidates are contesting in the ancholik panchayats.
