Amit Shah Attacks Congress From Birthplace Of Assam Socio-Religious Icon

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday attacked the Congress for joining forces with Badruddin Ajmal's AIUDF in Assam because of its "lust for power".

The Congress' "greed" to capture power in the state will remain unfulfilled and the BJP along with its ally Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), which symbolises Assamese identity, will win the assembly polls with a two-thirds majority, Mr Shah told a public rally at Borduwa, the birthplace of Srimanta

Sankardeva, the 15-16th century saint, scholar and religious reformer, in Nagaon district.

"The Congress talks about providing security when it is joining hands with Ajmal. It's ony because of its lust for power that it has joined hands with Ajmal".
