Jorhat, September 14 (Daily Kiran) : Political activity is intensifying in Jorhat as the Naogaon Lok Sabha by-election approaches. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has characterized this election as a crucial test of public courage against the fear-driven politics of the BJP.
Speaking on Monday, Gogoi stated, “The main contest will be between the BJP and Congress. This election will determine whether the BJP’s fear tactics prevail or if the courage of the people stands strong against it. We firmly believe that the atmosphere of fear created by the BJP will be dismantled by the people of Naogaon. Citizens today demand their rights from the government and reject this politics of intimidation.”
Regarding the announcement of Congress’s candidate, Gogoi expressed, “I think our official candidates should be declared soon.”
