Phukan got the ticket to run because he is related to CM Gogoi. Local Congressmen including teagarden people revolted against his misdeeds. Chah Mazdur people fielded their own candidate, interestingly an elite Mazdur is the current state congress President. There are various cases against Phukan including few in the Guwahati highcourt. I wonder how he got the afidavit of clean character pre-requisite for nomination filing. Long live our Bar Association (remember, now they are doing agitation against their own tainted kind)! AGP candidate won because he has a clean image. Even in the last election, when the wind was against AGP, this AGP Gogoi lost to former assembly speaker Jibakanta Gogoi (Congress) with a margin of around thousand votes. Congress President acknowledged yesterday that AGP Gogoi has a long social record in Khumtai compared their candidate's (read as anti-social) record. AGP Gogoi's presence felt in Khumtai for more than 30 years where as L. Phukan had ti! me only for the last few weeks--Ghatowar told this to newsmen yesterday. I do not think common man can gain anything from either Congress or AGP. One has to be connected with the people in power to get jobs, contracts and even to manage parking or coal syndicate. It is interesting that CM's cousin--Phukan--lost in Khumtai, it is part of CM's previous Loksabha constituency and his own brother Deep Gogoi is current MP. People of Khumtai has given a good response to the misgovern and misdded of Assam's weakest CM. CM Gogoi had clean image apart from the goodwill of the people. But within 18 months he proved everyone wrong. He is no better than corrupt Mahanta and company!
