Good point Mridul.
PM Singh may be decent person. But this tack of getting to his roost
in the PM's office thru the back-door of the Rajya Sabha, makes a
mockery of EVEN desi-demokrasy . But The late Hiteswar Saikia's
estate gets the rent! That is a contribution to Assam's welfare :-).

PM wins record fourth RS term from Assam
NET News Network
Guwahati, May 17: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was today elected
unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Assam for a record fourth
consecutive term in the Upper House of Parliament.
Assam assembly Secretary and Returning Officer G P Das said the
Prime Minister was declared elected unopposed from one of two Rajya
Sabha seats in the state as the third contestant, independant
candidate Matang Sinh, withdrew from the race.
"It is only due to my respect for the Prime Minister that I am
withdrawing from the race," Singh, a former Union minister, said.
Singh and AGP's Kumar Deepak Das, the only two candidates in the
fray, were declared elected unopposed much before the scheduled date
for the polls of May 24.
In his illustrious political career, Singh became Assam's
representative to the Rajya Sabha for the first time in 1991. He has
been elected to the House of elders from the state ever since.
During this period, he was the Union finance minister from 1991 to
1996 and ushered in economic reforms and liberalisation.
Singh became Prime Minister after Congress President Sonia Gandhi
refused the post in 2004.
Kumar Deepak Das, the nominee of the main opposition Asom Gana
Parishad and a former minister, earned his maiden entry to the Upper
House.
Meanwhile, in a telephonic conversation with Assam Chief Minister
Tarun Gogoi , Prime Minister has expressed his gratitude to the
people of Assam and the member of Assam Legislative assembly for
electing him consecutively for the fourth time
