He has brought laurels to the state,'' proudly announced Meghalaya Chief Minister D D Lapang adding that he had recently got a new mobile to SMS for him.

Nothing is working at this moment as Amit mania is driving everyone crazy,'' said Marc Marbanianag, a coal trader, who was initially not enthused by the whole thing but fell in line seeing his family members using five mobiles to vote for Amit. The scenario in Darjeeling is also similar but Prashant is definitely enjoying a better advantage as he is garnering support from Darjeeling, Gangtok, Kolkatta and Kalimpong.
