Gogoi lambasts Modi

By AT News |

Chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Tuesday questioned BJP’s delay in the release of the party’s poll manifesto on the date of the first phase of Lok Sabha polls on Monday.

Addressing a press conference in Guwahati, Gogoi said that the opposition party was resorting to delaying tactic in the release of the poll manifesto.

“The person who has failed to release even the poll manifesto in time how he would rule the country,” that’s what Gogoi told the reporters.

He further said that prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi enjoys the veneration of a semi-God among the BJP leaders and workers.

Gogoi has no right to criticise Modi or for that matter any other leaders of different affiliations. He has become blind and lost the rational thinking in the guise to perpetuate his family rule. He has joined hands with leaders of doubtful integraty for petty benefit. Natural wealth viz like famous one horned Rhino is facing extinction symbolising the bleak destiny of Assamese nationality. It is in his misrule that hundreds of people of different communities have lost their lives in communinal disturbance. The security of Assamese women and children are at stack. He is perpetuating his misrule with the help of extremists  and underground criminals. Thousnads of crores of rupees are being pocketed by corrupt politicians and bureucrates under his patronage as the home and revunue port folios are under him. CBI and vigilance cells are silent getting full patronage of same political party both in the state and centre. He has done irreparable damage to the future of the paeople and state by joining hands with unscropulous elements just to stick to the power. Destiny will never forgive such an arrogant, blind and corrupt leader that Assam has ever produced
