Guwahati: Finally state Congress has admitted the party's failure to make the Citizenship Bill in the Lok Sabha poll with full forces.
This was what former CM Tarun Gogoi said as he was addressing a press conference in Guwahati on Thursday.
Gogoi said they tried their best but it failed to reach the people in the grassroots level.
"We tried. But we could not concentrate only on it since many issues were on the store," said the former chief minister.
He further said that the pressure groups who organized the state wide protest could not help the issue reach the rural areas.
Many issues confronting the north eastern region have been left unnoticed amid the heat and dust of the recent electioneering much to the surprise of the knowledgeable circle.
Insurgency, flood and erosion, cross border influx missed the poll manifestoed released by both Congress and BJP.
"I don't understand why these parties are averse to make these poll issues. Both parties are responsible " said Bondita Sailor, a college teacher in Sivasagar.
"We have concentrated only on the principal issue which is none other than the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill. We won't allow it, " said HP Saikia, a Congress leader in Guwahati.
