Himanta said this while addressing a huge rally at the playground of Mangaldai Vidyapeeth on Monday evening as a part of the election campaign for their Mangaldoi Lok Sabha candidate Dilip Saikia.
“The future of the indigenous people of the State in 12 districts is very much threatened. So vote for us thinking about the future of the younger generation and not for the victory of BJP or Dilip Saikia,” Himanta said.
