“It is only the BJP which can take the nation forward. Our major agenda is to build a developed India, a corruption-free nation,” he said.

State Cabinet minister Chandra Mohan Patowary lambasted Congress for having mutual understanding with AIUDF. “Congress knows very well that they cannot defeat Narendra Modi led BJP. Therefore, they are going for a secrete alliance with AIDUF,” stated Patowary.
