Guwahati: BJP Minister Pijush Hazarika claimed on February 17 that he knows everything about the Congress and how it operates in a dig at Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia Assam.
Pijush Hazarika stated that he is extremely familiar with Debabrata Saikia and has read the letter that he wrote regarding the letter sent by the Congress party to the AIUDF.
He said that the letter has a number of significant passages that discuss the operations of the Congress Party.
“I know Debabrata Saikia very well. I have read his letter as well. He has written some important things in the letter which throws light at how the party functions. I cannot disagree to what he has written in the letter”, Pijush Hazarika said.
According to Pijush Hazarika, current Congress committee members don’t want to delegate authority to veteran party members because those individuals are unable to cover the cost of the position. In his remarks to reporters, he used the word “something” to refer to money or a bribe.
“The congress functions in this manner only. They take something in return for a post. It is evident and is true that new people has joined the party and gave ‘something’ for the post. This is how the congress functions nowdays,” Pijush Hazarika added.
The BJP Minister asserted that the party cannot rule Assam or Dispur till 2031 or, to be more precise, until 2036 and claimed that Congress is not in a position to retake power.
“The Congress Party cannot be in power till 2031 or to say till 2036. They cannot rule Assam or Dispur at least till 2036” he added.
“It’s been two years Himanta Biswa Sarma has been the Chief Minister of Assam and for another 13 years Congress is not in a position to rule Assam. So, they should think or imagine coming back to power,” Pijush Hazarika said.
