On Assam's Muslim Vote, A Startling Claim From Congress's Tarun Gogoi | Read
The crucial Muslim vote in Assam will not go to the Badaruddin Ajmal-led AlUDF but to the Congress, the state's three-time chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has claimed. The former Chief Minister's startling claim comes two days ahead of the crucial second phase of the general elections, when five of Assam's 14 seats go to polls. "Muslims in Assam have realised that it Congress can ensure them their rights, and in some time even the linguistic minorities (the Bengali-speaking Hindus) will also come to our fold," Mr Gogoi told NDTV.
