Addressing the press here out Congress headquarters Rajiv Bhavan, Sharma said, “We call the alliance between the AGP and BJP parties an ‘unholy alliance’. The Ministers of AGP resigned and left the party, but now they are back which proves they are a party of opportunists.”

Senior advocate Upamanyu Hazarika will also contest as an independent candidate and has also emerged as a popular candidate. Speaking about Hazarika, the Congress candidate said, “In regards to Upamanyu Hazarika, I urge the people to see to it that their precious votes do not get divided.”
