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.

Call to vote for Amit Paul in Indian Idol contest
By Our Correspondent

GUWAHATI, – At a time when the entire North East has come together irrespective of caste, creed and religion to make its son Amit Paul the next Indian Idol, the vote appeal campaign for the latest singing sensation from Meghalaya gained more strength with some international traders also joining the surge.

But despite this, there is a sense of diasatisfaction hovering in the minds of the people of Meghalaya. They want the people of Assam to pay back the support, which they showered on Debojit when the latter was vying for the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa crown.

"Around a year back the entire NE region including Meghalaya was busy voting for Debojit Saha who was from Assam. But somehow, we have not seen the same level of enthusiasm from the people of Assam for Amit as it was for Debojit," said Jai Modak, a trader who has come to Guwahati along with members of a non-governmental organisation to garner votes for Amit through some road shows.

"We organised rallies for Debojit throughout Meghalaya last year but the same intensity is not seen in Guwahati. There is hardly any serious campaign being carried out in any part of Assam," Modak opined.

Meanwhile, traders from countries including Kenya, Myanmar and Bangladesh, who are participating in the ongoing International Shillong Trade Fair and International Shillong Shopping Carnival organised by Industries & Trade Fair Association of Assam (ITFAA) have also joined the tide by expressing their solidarity and sincerity to the people of Meghalaya.

"NE is our next home as for the last one decade we have been doing our business here by participating in the trade fair. People here are very easy going and supportive. That is why I have been voting for Amit consistently," said Md Tariqul Islam of Bangladesh, who is participating in the International Shillong Trade Fair and International Shillong Shopping Carnival. "It is believed that home is where your heart is and a part of our heart remains here because of the immense love received from the people," Islam added. "We voted for Debojit when we were in Guwahati last year and this time too we appeal to everyone irrespective of caste creed and religion from across the country and Northeast to vote for Amit Paul and make Meghalaya and NE proud," informed Kenyan trader Mariam Idd Makeme.
