Today, people are seeing a new Assam based on our strong culture and heritage. People are completely with Assam.” BJP,except Bangladeshi infiltrators. No local Indian will vote for the Congress,” Sarma said. He further said, “Who wants to go to Congress? Congress cannot form its government in India, they can form it in Pakistan. Then how can I go to Congress? Congress can never form a government in India. When Congress government is formed, it will be formed in Pakistan or Bangladesh.” On the other hand, Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi, who leads the opposition alliance, said there is tremendous enthusiasm among the people as they can see that they are getting a historic opportunity to oust the 10-year-old BJP government. Gaurav Gogoi said, “Here the government practices the politics of fear and an opportunity is being provided to be free from it and we stand with the people. The enthusiasm is for change. People are, in a way, imagining a new Assam.” As per the announcement by the Election Commission of India (ECI), voting for all 126 constituencies in Assam will take place on April 9, and counting of votes will take place on May 4.
