Will Meghalaya back its Brand Ambassador to the hilt ?
By Patricia Mukhim
SHILLONG:
As the date for the grand finale of the Indian Idol reality show draws nearer, rumours, are afloat about our own favourite singer, Amit Paul trailing by several lakh votes. Sony Television's sudden announcement that voting will continue 24x7 for nine days from Friday 14 September, 9 pm up to 6 pm of Sunday the 23rd, has made several donors and sponsors of PCOs to develop cold feet. At their review meeting today, the Shillong Arts and Music Lovers Forum (SAMLF) took stock of the situation arising out of this sudden change of heart in those who had earlier been Amit aficionados.Headlines Today, a premier news channel reported on Sunday that people in Sikkim have stopped counting the cost. They are going all out to ensure Prashant Tamang become Indian Idol. Yes they are putting their money where their mouths are, some at great cost, to vote for their local hero. Other sources maintain that in North Bengal and Sikkim the voting fervour for Tamang has augmented considerably. The question now is whether Meghalaya can keep up the tempo to back its own hero and brand ambassador to the very last? Having brought Amit thus far it would be cruel if people are to let him down at this most crucial juncture.
