I checked the balance sheet numbers on Assam Government website and did not find any indicators. I think one would accept if you used numbers and sources for those numbers instead of just referring to Sanjib Baruah.

Because different states have gone forward with different models - many have kept relatively leaner governments. The center does not exactly hold a gun to the state governments to recruit people into the government. Incidentally, the center is the leanest of the governments. And sure enough, the insurgencies of 25 years adding up to nothing, has also made sure there is nothing much else in terms of private sector jobs to look forward to. Did Sanjib Baruah also mention how much we have lost in terms of jobs in the private sector because of insurgencies? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
