The Dibrugarh district Congress president said they have already started their meeting at the booth level to strengthen the party from grassroot level.

“In the upcoming election, we will show good result and topple the BJP ruled NDA government and form government under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi as Prime Minister,” Etwa Munda said.
