Assam Assembly Election 2011

North East state of India Assam will go for assembly election in two phases next month on 4th April and 11th April (For detailed Election dates visit- Assembly Election 2011 Assam Dates) These elections will decide the fate of decade old Congress rule over state. There are total of 126 assembly seats in Assam and any party or alliance need support of 64 MLAs to form new government in state. Presently, Congress is running government in Assam with the support of Bodoland People’s front (BPF).

Chief Minister of Assam, Tarun Gogoi is very confident of third consecutive win for Congress in this election because of good progress done by his government in last ten years. To some extent, Assam has emerged as much peaceful and progressive state during his tenure; however, victory route is not so simple for him. In 2006 Assam Assembly election, Congress emerged as single largest party by winning 55 seats out of total 126 seats and it made government with support of 11 Bodoland People’s front (BPF) MLAs.

The main opposition parties are Asom Gana Parishad (Assam Peoples Association) AGP, Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and AIUDF All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF). Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) is largest opposition party in Assam and it has alliance with parties like CPM, CPI, ASDC etc. This alliance got 28 seats in last Assembly election. BJP and AIUDF do hold good strength in Assam and they both got 10 seats in last assembly election.

The main good news for Congress is that there is no unity between opposition parties and Congress is likely to get good advantage from fight of opposition parties among themselves. Congress vote share in last election was 31 % however, it got 55 seats because of division of opposition votes. AGP vote share in last election was 20.4% while vote share of BJP was 12%. Therefore, any future alliance between opposition parties in Assam can create many problems for ruling Congress; on the other hand, Congress looks for comfortable win if opposition parties continued to fight among themselves.

Review- Bhool bhulaiya ( A good movie to watch)

From the last few of my reviews, I am saying that Indian cinema is slowly reaching towards its maturity. Bhool Bhulaiya is again one more film which further supports this fact. Bhool Bhulaiya is good watch for Indian movie viewer because it offers a good entertainment package. Ashkay Kumar has again proved with this movie that he is the undisputed king of laughter and he has well justified his role in this movie despite his entry in the movie just before the intermission. This film is a remake of Malaylam super hit movie Manichitrathazhu, which also have other remakes in Kannada (Aaptamitra) and Chandramukhi in Tamil and Telugu starring Rajnikanth (both were hit). However, Manichitrathazhu (1993) original version of film is believed to be the best in the category and its leading actor Shobhana also got national award for this movie. Now about Bhool Bhulaiya, then it is also a good watch, though not equivalent to Manichitrathazhu. This film can perform well in Hindi speaking belt becau
