Raijor Dal leader Akhil Gogoi criticized the BJP, claiming they use the AIUDF as their “political oxygen” in Assam. Gogoi, speaking at an opposition press conference, accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of leveraging the AIUDF to polarize voters. He alleged that the BJP depends on the AIUDF and its leader Ajmal to further its political agenda.
Gogoi accused the BJP of diverting attention from governance issues by promoting communal narratives and targeting opposition groups. He emphasized the need for opposition unity in Assam to effectively challenge the ruling party in upcoming elections. The ongoing verbal sparring between Raijor Dal and Chief Minister Sarma underscores the intensifying political landscape in Assam.
The political discourse in Assam has seen Sarma criticizing the Congress and AIUDF for allegedly engaging in “vote-bank politics.” In response, Gogoi accused the BJP government of fueling societal divisions for political gain instead of prioritizing development. He claimed that the BJP strategically raises the AIUDF issue during elections to consolidate support.
The exchange between Sarma and Gogoi highlights the competitive political environment in Assam as parties gear up for upcoming electoral battles.
