Cong leader targets media

A section of Congress leaders seem to have targeted media in the poll campaigns these days.

Sonari MLA Sarat Borkotoky on Friday accused a section of media of campaigning for BJP. In his address at a poll rally in Sonari to campaign for BK Handique, the aged political leaders said that section of media has already been sold to BJP and that’s why, they are averse to give any publicity of what Handique has done.

He, however, said that Handique will win the poll with flying colours.
