NAGAON, April 15: AIUDF chief Badaruddin Ajmal and his party have betrayed the Muslim community for personal gain and have accomplished a secret alliance with the ruling BJP – senior spokesman of APCC, Imdad Hussain said on Monday while addressing the media at Nagaon Rajiv Bhavan here.
Hussain said that the ruling BJP fielded two candidates in Nagaon parliamentary constituency this time against the opposition Congress. One is Suresh Bora of BJP, while the other is Aminul Islam from AIUDF. Due to this AIUDF chief Badaruddin Ajmal could use the helicopter hired by the ruling BJP for election campaign in Nagaon. Referring to the mutual understanding between BJP and AIUDF, the senior Congress leader asserted that both the parties are just two facets of the same coin.

Pointing out the helicopter issue, Hussain said that the helicopter (VP-IQB, BELL 206L4) in which AIUDF chief Badaruddin Ajmal arrived at Rupahihat from Guwahati on Sunday, was used by chief executive member of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, Tuliram Ranghang to flow from Diphu to Bhoksong the previous day. He however asserted that the same pilots, captain Rohan and captain Mayur flew the helicopter during both the trips.
Besides, Assam state president of BJP, Bhabesh Kalita also travelled in the same helicopter from Khanapara to Diphu on March 23, he said, adding that the booking process for the helicopter is not so easy.
The political parties hire a helicopter for a long period of time on payment of a certain amount of money for that period of time and it does not matter whether it runs or not, Hussain said, adding that the helicopter was booked by BJP and given to Ajmal for use.
The press conference was attended by another APCC spokesperson as well as secretary Prafulla Kr Das, president of Nagaon district Congress committee Prasanta Saikia, vice president Bhaskar Goswami, district executive president of Asom Jatiya Parishad Arun Bora, general secretary Chandra Mohan Bora and other members of the party.
