No wonder the rally in Jowai dwarfed the PM rally….why is no Flying squad detecting the cash flow in Jaintia Hills.?? there seems to be 2-3 groups of the Congress that are betraying each other and that is why the flying squad seems to be getting those that have to be exposed…but there are many more and why are these not detected?? It is also brought to our notice that some of the observers are indulging in drinking themselves and why would we wonder with Naik on the wheel…?? He is filing for an FIR for his missing balloon..Now will he file an FIR against those caught carrying money in excess and violating the model code of conduct???
