<p>“We had created a platform for him. We organised the meetings and he would only speak from the stage. He then thought that he was the one who made us win,” Hussain said.</p>

<p>His remarks came amid an ongoing political exchange between the Congress and Gogoi following the Congress decision to sever its alliance with Raijor Dal.</p>
