【Guwahati】With Assembly polls only a few months away, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi favours a realignemnt of political forces, including the AIUDF, to fight the BJP on a single platform.
　Cautious about the difficult possibility of bringing the parties like CPI, CPI-M, AIUDF and Bodoland People's Front together, he says it should not be viewed as a poll alliance but a grouping of forces joining hands to tackle communalism.

○Is Kerala turning a haven for militants of eastern India?

【Kozhikode】The arrest of a Bodoland militant in Kozhikode on the 3rd of November, and the earlier nabbing of alleged Maoist leaders have led to increased suspicion that extremist outfits are seeking cover among the nearly three-million-strong migrant-labour population in the State.
　Lidion Basumatari alias Digma, who is said to be the Assam State organising secretary of the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Songbijit faction), was captured by the intelligence wing of the Kerala Police in the suburbs of Kozhikode on Tuesday. Digma, 34, had fled Assam in the wake of an encounter with the military and had landed in Kozhikode in October. He had been working as a head-load worker, moving cement bags from trucks to go-downs, along with Assamese and other migrant workers from the north-east. The Kerala Police, who nabbed him on a tip-off, have verified his identity with the Assam Police. He has now been charged under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
