Syndicate Mafia lobbying hard for Cong ticket in Mangaldai LS

All political parties in Assam have been gearing up for selection of party candidates in the ensuing LS polls in Assam this year. Ticket contenders have been lobbying hard for party nomination from district to national level. In Mangaldai LS constituency sitting MP Ramen Deka of BJP is quite confident of getting another term and effecting morales of other party ticket contenders. The constituency has been under BJP for last ten years. For AGP there seems to be no hard lobbying due to weak party organisation in Mangaldai LS constituency. Former AGP president Chandra Mohan Patowary likely to seek party nomination from the constituency. BPF has yet to project any strong candidate but will fight LS poll alone.

For Congress the picture is cloudy. The battle for party ticket is keen as several high profile old party leaders, businessman, syndicate Mafia etc has started high profile campaign for party ticket from district to high command level. Strong congress contenders in Mangaldai LS are – Madhab Rajbongshi, Dipankar Saharia, Rupa Rani Bhuan etc. It has been known that syndicate Mafia in the party have been lobbying hard at party high command in New Delhi by offering hefty sums to anybody of the high command. Party observers said Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi is not aware of all such development. It has also come to notice that posters,banners etc have already been seen every where in Mangaldai LS constituency in favour of a few contenders.
