Assam Congress Chief Bhupen Borah Meets Akhil Gogoi For Talks On Bypolls

"It was just a courtesy meeting as I am in his (Gogoi's) constituency for our party meeting...we both are against the BJP's divisive policies," Assam Congress chief Bhupen Borah said.

Assam Congress chief Bhupen Borah has met Raijor Dal supremo Akhil Gogoi to evaluate possibilities of jointly fighting the assembly bypolls likely to be held by the end of this year. However, the late-night deliberations at Sivasagar on Monday remained inconclusive and both parties vowed to carry forward the discussions in the coming days. "It was just a courtesy meeting as I am in his (Gogoi's) constituency for our party meeting...we both are against the BJP's divisive policies. We discussed how we will fight the saffron camp in future," Mr Borah told reporters. He appreciated Mr Gogoi, an Independent MLA from Sivasagar, for joining hands with the Congress inside the Assembly to raise voice against the "anti-people decisions" of the state government.
