“There is no unanimity among the BJP leaders on the number of seats they are expected to win as they want to mislead people and hide their failure,” says Assam Congress chief Ripun Bora
Launching a scathing attack on the BJP, Assam Congress chief Ripun Bora on March 29 questioned the need for the saffron party to spend crores of rupees on a newspaper advertisement if it’s confident of winning all the Assembly seats in Upper Assam that went to polls in the first phase on March 27. The Congress has lodged an FIR against Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, BJP chief J.P. Nadda, State president Ranjit Kumar Dass and eight leading newspapers for “camouflaging an advertisement as news” predicting the saffron party’s victory in all the seats in Upper Assam. It has accused the saffron party of violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), provisions of Section 126A of the Representation of People Act, 1951 and the ECI’s directives issued on March 26.
