I agree with what you say and i too dont endorse a particular party or 
politician. In today's political scenario its about choosing between the bad 
and worse and we cant help it.

But one thing i would like to point out is the issue of perception. It is 
generally perceived, seen and experienced that separatist elements generally 
dont have the courage to raise their heads in a BJP ruled state. The situation 
in Orissa is to be condemned but the situation is Assam is quite different

If things continue on current rate people in Assam wont just have the trouble 
of losing out on their religious beliefs but also their nationality (Imagine 
Bangladesh claiming Assam a part of Bangladesh) their homes and everything else 
attached to it. There is bound to be mass scale migration of locals wilfully or 
forcefully just like faced by the Kashmiri Pundits

I view the current situation more as a threat to our homes and nationality 
rather than religious beliefs. Religion and Nationalism (in this case belonging 
to a certain nation) are two different issues and should remain so but 
ironically in this country the politicians invariably link the two

Sandeep,
Good thought. But known for igniting religious conflicts I doubt if BJP will do 
any good to the state. What if they start converting the tribals to Hinduism 
forcefully and start demolishing educational institutions run by Christians? 
Just a hypothetc thought, but  the history teaches us lessons.

Regards,

Rajni

question too has been answered

Its time some responsible governement is brought to power in the state or else 
the Assamese in Assam too will meet the same fate as the Kashmiri Pundits. We 
will be driven out of our own homes In Kashmir too things started on the same 
note. I hope i am proved wrong but i hope we dont see a similar situation few 
years later wherein a part of Assam becomes similar to Kashmir valley with 
dominance of separatist elements and the other part pro INdia consisting of 
Assamese (similar to Jammu)

The AGP govt failed on its promises and the Congress i doing no good. Is it 
time the BJP is given a chance??? Although i don't endorse BJP and some of its 
some methods wholeheartedly but still atleast we can try and giv them a chance
