Gogoi calls BJP a balloon

Chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Friday called BJP a balloon to be air-pumped in the time of elections.

Campaigning for Bijoy Krishna Handique at a meeting in Sivasagar, the chief minister said that the balloon-like BJP is punctured after the election.

He said that the voters will take into consideration what the Congress governments in Delhi and Dispur have done during the last ten years.

In the same breath, he hoped that the people should pause and ponder over what they got during the NDA tenure in Delhi and AGP tenure in Dispur.  

He said that he was confident that Congress candidate BK Handique will win the polls from Jorhat.
