"PM Should Visit Flood-Hit Assam Instead Of...": Congress's Gaurav Gogoi

Gaurav Gogoi claimed PMModi is either busy toppling the Maharashtra government or for the Gujarat elections.

Assam Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi hit out at the BJP on Thursday, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should visit flood-hit Assam instead of toppling the Maharashtra government.

"If there's a crisis, it's that of floods. BJP has gone blind for power. There are floods in Assam. The PM should visit the state and announce special package, but he's busy toppling Maharashtra government, or in Gujarat elections...Only power is everything for BJP," said Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi.

Over 41 lakh people in 34 districts of Assam continue to reel under the impact of ongoing flood and landslide situations.

Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways and Ayush, Sarbananda Sonowal, on Wednesday, visited the relief camp set up at Phulaguri Higher Secondary School in Nagaon district of Assam to meet the flood-affected people of the region.
