Who is laxmi orang

At a function held at Biswanath Chariali in Sonitpur district on Monday, Laxmi was inducted into the national party in the presence of Congress candidate and incumbent minister Nurjamal Sarkar. Though she has no plan to contest elections this time, she wants to work for the party.

I felt I can serve my people better if I join the Congress," said Laxmi. But she was disqualified by the returning officer because of being underage. Sarkar said the Congress was happy to get Laxmi as its member. Laxmi's joining the Congress will help the party in garnering trust among Adivasi voters who had a grudge against the ruling party since the incident took place four years ago. In the past, Laxmi was critical of Congress, saying that her modesty was outraged during its rule.

The long-term denial and violence against the communities has also resulted in hundreds of Adivasi youth in the state taking up arms. However, these groups laid down their arms in when erstwhile home minister P Chidambaram had promised to grant ST status to their communities.

Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal recently said the matter of granting ST status to six communities of the state, including the tea tribe, would be finalised soon. He said both the Centre and state governments have taken effective steps to accord ST status to these communities to protect the interests of the indigenous communities and the unique identity of the state. However, the Coordination Committee of Tribal Organisations of Assam CCTOA , a conglomeration of several tribal groups of the state, opposed the government move saying that granting of ST status to the six communities, including the Adivasis, will severely affect the growth and reservation of existing ST communities of the state.

The conglomeration had also recently called for an Assam bandh which evoked a mix response.
