It sounds more like a lover바카라s proÂmise than a politician바카라s pre-poll vow. But then, Upamanyu Hazarika is not a politician바카라and a candidate only by chance, as he puts it. So, when his campaign pamphlet includes the curious sentence, 바카라I will never betray you바카라, the people of Assam are not missing the wry humour around political fickleness. Hazarika, 53바카라a Supreme Court lawyer바카라is an indÂependent Âcandidate for the prestigious Gauhati Lok Sabha seat, which goes to the polls on April 23. He will primarily take on two women바카라Queen Oja of the BJP and Congress바카라s Bobbeeta Sharma.
Hazarika바카라s main agenda is 바카라illegal infÂilÂtration바카라, especially from Bangladesh, which, he says, threatens the identity of Assam바카라s indigenous people. It is not a new issue. Political fortunes have been made around it, like that of the AGP. The Congress and, lately, the BJP has milked it multiple times. But Hazarika says that all these parties failed to keep their promises.
바카라Especially in Assam, the Âpeople have been betrayed time and again by various political parties incluÂding the AGP which was formed to safeguard the indigenous people. The result so far is zero. So, I had to mention that I will be loyal to my cause and to the people,바카라 Hazarika tells Outlook as he gets ready for campaigning in Chhaygaon which falls under Guwahati. 바카라Our main issues remained the same over the years. The indigenous people are still under threat. The border is yet to be sealed...I want to see a state which is free from the infilÂtrators and where the indiÂgenous people can live peacefully,바카라 Hazarika adds.
Hazarika has been vocal oppÂonent of the lapsed citizenship amendment bill, which had sparked violent Âprotests across Assam and Northeast recently. But with the issue fizzling out, will the people still back him? 바카라There are 18 lakh indigenous voters in Guwahati... And there바카라s Ânobody with the indiÂgenous people in the true sense. I have been fighting a lone battle for the security and safety of the indigenous people. The resÂponse in the ground has been overwhelming. So, I think that바카라s a positive gesture,바카라 Hazarika adds.
