Dear Bharat B.,
The voters had absolutely nothing to gain by voting for the AGP candidate, but everything, by going with Congress party. Yet they chose to go with AGP. If the voting reflects Congress party's poor choice of a candidate, then I'll say that Khumtai's voters understood democracy, bucking the trend in Assam and refusing money lures. Now my questions to you are: Why is Phukan called a thug? What did the voters see wrong in him? Why did Congress party choose him? Did the AGP candidate Gogoi win because he has a spotless record?

Money can not buy votes! 22 ministers, including CM Gogoi and Assam Congress President PSG loped (may be scampering) around Khumtai for days with money, blanket and laopaani, yet the Congressi thug L. Phukan lost with a margin of more than 3000 votes. I know money can not buy love; I guess money can not buy votes either! Democracy at its best. Jai Hind.
