SIVASAGAR, July 19: Reacting to state Congress president Gaurav Gogoi’s remark that Akhil Gogoi presents a multiversion personality, the later ruled that the new state Congress chief awfully lacks political acumen to gauge his thrust for opposition unity in the present critical juncture.
Addressing the media here on Friday in Sivasagar Akhil Gogoi said that however much we think about the opposition unity forum, comments made by Debabrata Shaikia and Gaurav Gogoi show that they are not at all interested in it.

He further said that he called on Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge also to take a decision in this regard, but in vain.
“Since becoming president, Gaurav Gogoi has not said anything clearly about the alliance,” he added.
Akhil Gogoi retorted, “Despite many incising sarcasm at my expense, I have not said anything derogatory to Gaurav Gogoi”.
“I am being patient with these things in order to defeat the BJP. The BJP benefited from not being united in the panchayat elections. If Gaurav Gogoi continues to say these things with such trivial ridicule, one day he will lose patience,” Gogoi threatened.
Gogoi added that Gaurav Gogoi did not express any gratitude for the way the people’s party helped him in the last Lok Sabha elections.
He said that he had been to jail 20 times during the Congress era and 16 times during the BJP era.
“Nevertheless, I am talking about an alliance only to defeat the BJP government which targets Muslims in Assam,” Akhil said.
