Kaliabor, March 28, 2019:
BJP Chief Amit Shah on Thursday landed in Assam to sound the party’s poll bugle ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2018. Shah visited Koliabor and Jorhat to speak at BJP campaign rallies and launched scathing attacks at the opposition Congress and hinted at a ‘secret understanding’ between Congress and AIUDF parties. AGP’s Moni Madhab Mahanta will contest from Koliabor whereas Topon Kumar Gogoi will contest from Jorhat.
“It appears that Congress fight alone, but I urge people of Assam not be blindsided by this. In day Gogoi and Ajmal stay away from each other, but at night, they get busy with ‘ilu ilu’ (I love you, I love you). They are standing side-by-side. To secure the political future of his son, Gogoi has fallen at the feet of Badruddin. Their only motive is to fill Assam with Bangladeshi spies.
“You cannot expect the Congress to stop the encroachment”, Shah added.
Assam will go to the Polls in three phases on 11, 18 and 23 April 2019.
