TURA, Oct 26: The poll campaign in Rajabala just touched a notch higher with the entry of two lady heavyweights into the campaign trail in Rajabala which is barely hours away from conclusion.

The NPP and the Congress have pulled out all stops to make this election a prestigious issue and what better way than to bring in their star campaigners from the ladies side- Agatha K Sangma of the NPP and Deborah C Marak from the Congress, in the hope it will click among the several thousand women voters of the constituency.

The NPP rally in the minority dominated village of Belbari witnessed a strong presence of supporters for the ruling dispensation as Tura MP Agatha K Sangma addressed the crowds speaking about the developmental works her brother’s government has been undertaking for the state.

“This government is making all efforts to ensure every corner of Garo Hills gets its share of development and Rajabala is also a part of the development initiative of Conrad Sangma’s government,” said Agatha Sangma on the sidelines of the rally.

But that doesn’t seem to hold much water for the Congress and its senior party leader and first former woman deputy chief minister Deborah C Marak.

“As far as we are concerned we are winning Rajabala because people here are yearning for a change. There is no development which is why the public are looking to the Congress and this can be understood from the large turnouts to our rallies,” says Deborah Marak.

Deborah Marak led a congress women delegation to the Garo dominated hill areas of Wadagokgre and the plain tribes region of Kochugre to ramp up support for Congress candidate Hashina Yasmin Mondol on Tuesday evening.

According to the former congress minister, the party is leaving nothing to chance and taking all steps to combine the voter support of the hills and the plains.

“We are having cluster meetings in villages in view of the covid protocols but are able to get our message across to the masses,” believes Marak.

Campaigning will come to an end on Wednesday afternoon at 4 PM and voting takes place on October 30th. Counting of votes is on November 2nd in Tura.
