Press meet at North Guwahati: At a meet the press held here at Rajaduar under the initiative of the secretary of Asom Yuva Parishad, Manoj Saikia and other office bearers of AGP, including Ganesh Das and Jayanta Kumar Das, the strategy of the AGP to fight the ensuing election at Jalukbari LAC was made public.
While focussing on rampant corruption, misrule and �Congressikaran� of various schemes meant for the poor and downtrodden sections of the society in the prestigious Jalukbari LAC, Saikia asserted that the present MLA of Jalukbari constituency, Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma had been quashing all norms of running a government as a lawmaker.
The MLA, who is also a minister, has encouraged a section of the large traders to shape the destiny of a large section of the cultivators in areas under North Guwahati revenue circle, he alleged.
The AGP which has 21 anchalik samities with three wings like the Asom Yuba Parishad, Asom Mahila Parishad and Asom Shram Parishad, is now stronger due to the joining of hundreds of new members coming from BJP, Congress and AUDF, Saikia said.
The Jalukbari constituency considered to be an invincible rampart during the tenure of the late AGP leader Bhrigu Kumar Phukan, is now degraded in all fronts and none but the henchmen and the MLA himself have been benefitted by the various welfare oriented schemes launched so far, said the spokesmen of the AGP.
According to Manoj Saikia, there are mainly three candidates, including himself, Bisweswar Deka and Puspa Deka in the fray in the prestigious Jalukbari constituency for the ensuing hustings.
