Assam minister Pijush Hazarika participates in BJP's bike rally in Sivasagar

Ahead of the Lok Sabha election, Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika was seen participating in a bike rally on March 18.

The event was organised by the BJP kāryakartās in Sivasagar.

Earlier today in Sivasagar, Pijush Hazarika accused Akhil Gogoi of conspiring to defeat Gaurav Gogoi and Lurin Jyoti Gogoi in the Jorhat and Dibrugarh constituencies. 

While interacting with the media Sivasagar, Hazarika said, "Akhil Gogoi has trapped Gaurav Gogoi by bringing him to Jorhat LS seat...Akhil Gogoi has Akhil Gogoi done conspiracy to politically defeat Gaurav Gogoi and Lurin Jyoti Gogoi in Jorhat and Dibrugarh".

Further Hazarika asserted that if Gaurav Gogoi had contested from the Nagaon LS constituency there would have been some fight due to the minority populace but from the Jorhart seat, the Congress MP is poised to lose by 2-3 lakh votes against BJP candidate Tapan Gogoi and on the otherhand AJP's Lurin Jyoti Gogoi who will be contesting from Dibrugarh LS seat will also loose against BJP candidate and former chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal by at least 4 lakh votes.

The allegations have stirred up political tensions in the region.

Meanwhile, reacting to the allegation, Akhil Gogoi asserted that both the leaders are not from the Raijor Dol party and that the decision to field its candidates is been taken by the party, not by the Raijor Dol.

"I have only requested Rahul Gandhi to field Gaurav Gogoi to contest from Jorhat LS seat and we are ready to give our 100 per cent for his win...As Tapan Gogoi might lose Jorhat seat, hence out of fear they are comparing Gaurav Gogoi with Narendra Modi, not the BJP candidate."

Further Gogoi claimed that in front of Gaurav Gogoi, BJP's Tapan Gogoi is like a child.
