Congress-mukta Northeast: A dream coming true

Guwahati: The dream of Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) to make Northeast a Congress-mukta zone is slowly coming true. In the last nine byelections held in the region, where counting votes took place on Tuesday after the polling on 30 October, the Indian National Congress (INC) failed to get any of its candidates elected to the legislative assemblies of Mizoram, Meghalaya and Assam.

The scheduled byelections in Nagaland was evaded as the ruling National Democratic Progressive Party candidate S Keoshu Yimchunger was declared a winner unopposed from Shamtorr-Chessor assembly seat. Need not mention that presently there are no INC ruled States in the region and it is not even an ally to any north-eastern governments.

The ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) nominee K. Laldawngliana defeated his nearest rival Pu Laltlanmawia (from Zoram People’s Movement) in Tuirial constituency by a margin of 1,284 votes. The INC representative Chalrosanga Ralte found himself in third place. In Meghalaya, the ruling MDA coalition bagged all three seats, where also  the Congress lost the electoral battles. National People's Party (NPP) nominee Abdus Saleh won from Rajabala constituency defeating his nearest opponent Hashina Yasmin  Mondal  (INC) with a margin of 1926. United Democratic Party (UDP) candidate Ashahel D Shira was placed in
the third position.

Similarly, NPP candidate Pyniaidsing Syiem defeated the nearest rival Highlender Kharmalki (INC) in Mawrynkneng  seat with the margin of 1816. On the other hand, UDP nominee Eugeneson Lyngdoh emerged victorious in Mawphlang constituency against Kennedy Cornelius Khyriem (INC) with a margin of 4401 votes. 

In Assam, all five seats were grabbed by the BJP and its political ally United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) defeating the Congress candidates in each constituency. Other losing parties include All India United Democratic Front of Assam, Bodoland People’s Front, Gana  Suraksha Party, Communist Party of India, etc. More amazingly, all the three winning BJP candidates abandoned the Congress and AIUDF recently that necessitated the byelections in Thowra, Mariani and Bhabanipur constituencies.

Sushanta Borgohain, a former Congress legislator, won in Thowra seat defeating Dhaijya Konwar (an independent candidate) by a margin of 30,561 votes. Another former Congress MLA Rupjyoti Kurmi succeeded in Mariani seat defeating Luhit Konwar (INC) by a margin of 40104 votes. Similarly, a firmer AIUDF legislator Phanidhar Talukdar won from Bhabanipur constituency defeating Sailendra Nath Das (INC) by a margin of 25641.

On the other hand, UPPL candidate Jiron Basumatary defeated Jowel Tudu (INC) in Gossaigaon seat under the Bodoland territorial area by a margin of 28252 votes. Similarly, another UPPL nominee Jolen Daimary defeated Ganesh Kachary (independent candidate) in Tamulpur seat, also in BTR, by a margin of 57059 votes.

There were festivities in the saffron camps, but following the guidelines of Election Commission of India, no victory procession was taken out. The election authority also permitted only two persons to accompany the winning candidate (or his/her authorized representative) to receive the certificate. Necessary precautions were also made in view of the Covid-19 restrictions across the country.
