How can a music director say against NE India as if it is not part of India. Remember SD Burman and RD Burman are from NE India and they are the best ever music director in India.
Debo is a good singer. If he is getting 74% vote from NE it is his plus point. He also got 7% from Delhi which is a good sign. Now voters from Nihira also seemed voted with him and gave him the boost if the reports are true.
I think if Himani is out then the final should be between Debo and Hema.
