“There is no any factor to defeat BJP candidates in the four seats as people of these four constituencies have full confidence upon the party of doing good for the common masses of the country,” Himanta said.
“We are also full confident that our four candidates will come out with remarkable margin,” he added.
He was accompanied by Tezpur MP Pallab Lochan Das, Dhekiajuli MLA Ashok Singhal, Barchala MLA Ganesh Limbu and Tezpur MLA Brindaban Goswami.
