Assam: Akhil Gogoi is insulting himself by holding meetings without people, says BJP Minister

BJP Minister Pijush Hazarika on April 14 took a sharp dig at Akhil Gogoi accusing him of conducting meetings in Majuli devoid of substantial attendance. Hazarika's remarks come amidst ongoing election campaigns in the region.

Addressing reporters, Minister Hazarika criticized Gogoi, stating, "Akhil is insulting himself by holding meetings without people in Majuli." He highlighted instances where Gogoi's meetings purportedly attracted minimal attendees, citing numbers ranging from 70 to 120 individuals in one gathering.

Pijush Hazarika said, "Akhil Gogoi is considered a prominent leader. Only 70-100 people come to his meeting. Why does he attend such meeting and undermine himself? Despite being a significant figure, only a few people attended his meeting, with approximately 120 attendees. Today, at my meeting, he realized the popularity of the BJP. He is likely to lose the election this time, and BJP will secure victories in both Majuli and Jorhat."

Hazarika further asserted his confidence in BJP's electoral prospects in both Jorhat constituency and Majuli. "Akhil Gogoi realized today that they will lose in Jorhat constituency and lose very badly in Majuli," he proclaimed.

Responding to Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma's earlier comments on Bihu dance during the campaign, Hazarika expressed his intent to symbolically showcase the festival to Gogoi. "On the day the election results are announced, Akhil Gogoi will see Bihu in his eyes," he declared, implying an impending defeat for Gogoi.

"We will demonstrate the strength of the Bihu festival in this election. On election result day, Akhil Gogoi will witness our victory. In Akhil Gogoi's constituency, We will win by a minimum of 15,000 to 20,000 votes. This time during the election results, we will show him real Bihu.", Hazarika said.
