Addressing a poll campaign meeting at Jania in Barpeta district, Gogoi asserted, "Sirajuddin is the AIUDf candidate who was defeated in the last election in Nagaon. He fled from Nagaon. He got third position in Nagon the last time".
"Sirajuddin cannot win in Barpeta constituency because he was defeated in his own place. He is that type of snake that only can hiss, and nothing else", Gogoi claimed.
The chief minister was confident that the AIUDF would be defeated not only in Barpeta but also in Dhubri.
Hussain who also spoke said that he would win this time as he had so far won four times as an MLA, two times as minister and as an MP last time.
