as a favor. Because Rajib Das did not find any reference to it in the
Assam Govt. web-site.
But only the inferentially challenged would buy the argument.

Once again, since I can't offer any numbers, it must not be a fact.

**** I am relieved to hear that the Center maintains lean and mean govt.
And also that some states are leaner than Assam. That must tell us
that the Assam folks, being good for nothing and lazy. Of course that
has to be based on the assumptions that all the states have the same
circumstances.
Again only a fool and the profoundly ignorant will believe that.

**** Isn't that a big surprise? But it would be a surprise only to
those whose reasoning abilities are grossly impaired, considering a

Assam has been and continuing to pay huge
assessments for deployment of the
armed forces, not just the CRPF. I don't have the

the percentage of the total costs to the forces, but

And sure enough, the insurgencies of 25 years adding

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?
