Assam’s Congress regime is passing the buck - Pioneer
Soon after realising that his Government had miserably failed to contain the violence that broke out in parts of Assam in the last week of July, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi promptly put the blame for the escalation of the crisis on the ‘failure' of the Army stationed there to quickly respond to his administration's call for assistance. By passing the buck, Mr Gogoi has sought to effectively wash his hands of a problem that his regime should have tackled — and tackled effectively.
