Editor,
The upcoming by-election in three Assembly constituencies would be an interesting game to watch.
Regional parties who are allies to the NPP will be pitted against each other while Congress and BJP would be pitted against all and one another in a different game. So, all the rhetoric that is spewed on the media or public platforms would be just eyewash from reality.
The UDP has gone on an overdrive telling people that it is not Team B but Team A. Well then my question is what has the party done in respect to its coalition ties with NPP if it’s really a team leader? A team leader should basically lead from the front and excel in quality leadership but as it seen UDP doesn’t eschew those qualities.
The BJP too which follows its ‘Masters Voice’ against corruption has in fact compromised itself and we need not say much on the BJP as it has changed its name on its card.
The NCP has even gone to the extent of asking parties not to put up a candidate against a family candidate from Mawphlang. The question is have we sold our democratic rights to dynastic politics then comes other players too.
The entertainment as predicted would be full of surprises, thrillers and akin to betting at a “Teer” counter. Which party hits the bull’s eye in these by-polls will call the shots in the 2023 State Assembly elections.
