Is that all out of the Bundh?
I am astounded as to why AASU is
running after peanuts and that too wrong peanuts and that too
after wasting 'full-course-meals' for Assam.
Girls hostel by
ONGC?
Preservation of ancient monuments by
ONGC?
Grants to Medical College by
ONGC?
And that too after wasiting cores of
rupees for Assam by declaring Bundh?
It looks like, AASU is fast downgrading
itself to the category of 'pests' in Assam like mosquito,
'kakoti-phoring' and others..
I know Assam is suffering from a crisis of
a vacuum of intelligensia, but did not know that it is running so
deep.
