Chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Monday made it plain and simple that his government wants 2014 voter list as one of the supportive documents to update the national registrar of citizens.
Responding to the legislators who asked him to clear his position, Gogoi said that the list would be required if the documents earlier announced by the Supreme Court are not available for an indigenous citizen.
He said that his government has already moved the Supreme Court for consideration which has not so far rejected the affidavit.

Mr. Tarun Gogoi is going mad because the assembly election of Assam is approaching. He is such a person who knows only vote bank politics. He is a useless Chief Minister of Assam who has no interest to protect the indigenous communities of Assam rather he is ready to protect the illegal Bangladeshis who entered illegally to our land. The vote bank politics of Congress in Assam will lead our state to be part of Bangladesh. Tarun Gogoi will sell Assam to Bangladesh and he along with his family will settlen down in London.
Will Tarun Gogoi be able to complete his term as Chief minister? All eyes are fixed on June 23. AICC pulls up its sleeves to end dissidence at a brainstorming session in New Delhi. To be chaired by vice president Rahul Gandhi, the meeting is expected to discuss the strategies for the 2016 assembly polls in presence of chief minister Tarun Gogoi and APCC president Bhubneswar Kalita along with AICC leaders Ahmed Patel, Dr CP Joshi, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Motilal Vhora. Party high command was believed to have contemplated change in chief minister to end the CLP crisis. But according to sources, there is hardly any possibility of change in chief minister. Notably, AICC leaders on Thursday gave...
Dulumoni Rabha’s mother and brother work in stone quarries to make ends meet. Nikumoni Kalita’s father digs sand from the river to earn his family’s household expenses. Popy Rabha’s mother pulls a hand cart, sells snack in the weekly local market so that her family can have their next meal. Apart from abject poverty, there is another point that binds these girls in Assam’s Rani area along the state’s borders with Meghalaya – they are looking at football to take them out of their drudgery. And they have to thank Hem Das, veteran coach from Guwahati, who spends his own money to teach football around 40 girls like them. Now, even as the world is celebrating the FIFA World Cup fever, their...
Prime Minister Narendra Modi comes in for sharp criticism in Assam for his alleged permission to Bhutan for construction of a dam that threatens to wash away a huge area in lower Assam. Various political parties and organizations across the state are taking on the new prime minister alleging that his green signal to the Himalayan kingdom to construct big dams would spell no less disaster in lower Assam. The Asom Gana Parishad is first to react sharply alleging that Assam is not safe at all at the hands of the new government. Congress leaders told Assam Times that they would examine the issue and would react in appropriate course of time. Talking to Assam Times, KMSS leaders said that...
It is hard to believe. But true. Poisonous drugs are flooding the pharmacies across the state posing serious threat to the health sector. Banned drugs are still for sale in the open market. Analgin is easily available in the pharmacies. Doctors do not prescribe the tablets. But consumers buy it as pain killer which can cause bone marrow depression. Similarly consumption of cisapride to get rid of acidity and constipation can cause irregular heartbeat. Similarly, one who takes phenolphthalein for laxative runs the risk of cancer. But strange are the ways of the health department. The heavily manned department has yet to step in. “Why the drugs inspectors are averse to conduct raid in the...

Amid deescalating political temperature in Dispur, chief minister Tarun Gogoi pulls up his sleeves to exercise a drastic reshuffle of his council of ministers. Sources told Assam Times that Gogoi is under pressure to end the two year long paralyzing dissidence. That’s why, he is believed to have cleared the decks to appoint his deputy in the much-awaited reshuffle. Who is the lucky one? Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma’s name is doing round the corners. But there is no official confirmation. A circle of ministers from the pro and anti-Gogoi camps are set to be axed while four of the aspirants from the chief minister’s camp might be accommodated. Gogoi got the green signal from party high...
