Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today voted for Nahid Afrin, the young singing sensation from Assam, for the "Indian Idol Junior" Season II.
In a statement here, Gogoi said the young promising singer from Assam has been regaling the audience and viewers with her mellifluous voice and bringing laurels to the state.
The Chief Minister appealed to the people of the state to vote for Nahid, who hails from Sonitpur district, to enable her to win the coveted singing reality show.
Impressed by the singing of the 13-year old Visharad, a Part 2 student of classical music under the Bhatkhande Kala Kendra, the Indian Idol Junior Season 2 judges said she might get offers for playback singing by the end of this season.
Intense campaigning is on in Assam, particularly in her home town Biswanath Chariali, for Nahid's victory in the singing reality show.
