GUWAHATI, Nov 10: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday took a potshot at Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi for the latter’s claim that at least 8,000 people are set to join the opposition party.
Sarma told reporters, “Gaurav Gogoi does not understand politics well and that is why he has been doing some childish acts. Joining a political party is a totally different thing. Tomorrow, I can arrange a meeting at the Judge’s field where maybe 1 lakh people will attend and I can claim that all of them have joined the BJP. The state Congress president lacks knowledge in basic things.”
The Chief Minister also attacked the Congress party in Dhubri and he said, “The people of Dhubri did not get any benefit by making the Congress party candidate win in the election. I have come here today but the Congress MLA has not attended any meeting, He has not come up with any demand as well for the locality.”
Sarma also took a potshot at Congress MP Rakibul Hussain and said, “People of Dhubri made Rakibul Hussain to win the previous Lok Sabha election by 10 lakh votes. However, his Lok Sabha constituency did not get any development in the last one year. This happens when voters opt for the Congress party.”
The Chief Minister also claimed that the BJP has been doing all round development in the state along various initiatives.
“Assam has never seen such rapid development along with the kickstarting of a series of major projects. That is why I say that the state has entered a golden era and more development projects will come here in near future,” he reiterated.
