I hope the strength in his commitment grows with the days.Yes, he has arrived. But arrival is the starting part of the story to begin.I hope this continues. He needs support. But he must never be disappointed and depressed with any hurdles that may come to him. I hope he stands by his ego and his attitude make him more stronger, more enlightented in his vision. He has a lot to do. Thanks for your contribution. Akhil da!

We need people like Akhil Gogoi to save Asom and it's rich culture. Politicians boost of various packages for millions of poors but who created these poor people in a self sufficient state like Asom. Because of very poor management, the Asom is in a very bad situation and immediate action is required to protect interest of indigenous peoples of Asom. DK Borah

Peasant protesters peacefully returning from D C office Guwahati without submitting memoranda has been a morally higher & victorious job than taking law onto one's own hand. The Congress govt perhaps wanted to enact another Beltola incident so that later on they can blame peaceful protesters of violence. The autocratic govt must be ashamed now of mistaking a Democratic protest to be martial protest. Today's protest may remind us of Gandhiji's Satyagraha. truth always wins. Regards to all

it is great to see someone taking the might against corrupt politician like Himanta . carry on the good work like a true social activist you will succeed we are supporting you dear Akhil. My only request:- you seem to be the proverbial "last straw" , dont enter politics and ditch the indegenious people of Assam like many of todays politicians did in recent past. Assam has enough of it's share of betrayal by her son of the soil. we can ill afford more!!!

ARRIVAL OF A TRUE LEADER AKHIL: The term 'gathia' (short statured) used by BTC chief Hagrama Mahiliary for Akhil Gogoi on the July 18 Congress-BPF rally is not in good taste. KMSS secretary is fighting corruption. Had Bodofa Upen Brahma been alive, he would have been proud of Akhil Gogoi and not Hagrama Mahiliary. Akhil Gogoi's manner of protest is democratic like the one by late Upen Brahma. He is the re-incarnation of Bodofa Upen Brahma, this time for entire Assam. Neither Hagrama nor Ranjan Daimary have folowed Bodofa's ideals. We would have loved to hear Hagrama speak when Udalguri was burning in 2008 Bodo-Bangladeshi riots. Suprisingly Hagrama was silent then.
