Guwahati, Mar 27 (IANS): Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, claimed on Saturday that the BJP has acceded defeat in Assam and throughout the campaign, the ruling party tried to evade questions related to its performance in the last five years.

Addressing the media here, Kharge said that with the first phase of polling underway in Assam, clear signs of a landslide victory for the Congress are emerging from all parts of the state.

"The Congress has gone to the people with a vow to fulfil its 'five guarantees' which will be a gamechanger for the future of Assam and its people. We have received an overwhelming response from the people across all ages and geographies towards the vision and the will power that we have presented," the Congress leader said.

Kharge was accompanied by Rajya Sabha members Nasir Hussain and Akhilesh Prasad Singh, and Lok Sabha MP Abdul Khaleque.

He said that the BJP has denied tickets to 18 per cent of its sitting MLAs (11 out of 60 MLAs) "to erase the wounds of unfulfilled promises from the minds of the people".

"The BJP and its allies have already sensed a massive defeat in the elections due to the people reposing their faith and hope on the five guarantees promised by the Congress. In a desperate bid, as per news reports, the United People's Party Liberal (UPPL), a BJP ally, has promised that surrendered cadres of militant outfits would be provided jobs in the Army and paramilitary forces according to their ranks. Can a political party promise jobs in the defense forces," the veteran leader asked.

The first phase of polling in 47 constituencies in Assam will decide the fate of 264 candidates. The other two phases will be held on April 1 (39 seats) and April 6 (40 seats). The results will be declared on May 2.

    The six years of BJP rule has taken our Country backwards by six years. Modi has to answer all these failures to the people: 1. What about Farmers issues. How many farmers have died in the protests. 2. What about Grave situation of unemployment. 3. What about Demonitisation and the devastation of all small business men. 4. What about the Negative growth of the economy. 5. What about all round corruption and where is the Lokpal. 6 What about the Lynchings. 7. What about the sale of all Govt Undertakings to Crony Capitalists. 8. What about Hate Politics. 9. What about Rapes and crimes against women across the country. 10. What about Farmers suicides and deaths across the country. 11. What about all the constitutional authorities. 12 What about the Supreme Court. 13. What about the price of essential commodities and petrol and diesel. 14 The List is endless and our country is virtually on the Brink

    regarding rapes, lynchings etc, it was always there.Only that we are connected in communication so well now, everything is coming to light.also finding in most cases, they are staged as the dynasty people want to come back at any cost. this is a transition period, farmers would never have commited suicide if last 70 years they were happy, why those poor farmers were not happy? why there are loads of farmers with loads of swiss bank accounts? number of imported vehicles who are protesting the farm laws?. the farmer leader from karnataka has crores of assets who is sitting protesting. he is not making money from farming, but protesting...thats his income...and most of them.real farmer is still working in his field.
