Gogoi questions BJP’s source of poll expenses
In a statement Gogoi said that the amount of money involved in BJP’s poll campaign in the just concluded assembly elections in Assam raised a strong doubt on the source of BJP’s poll funding.
Gogoi pointed out that the saffron party in the last elections in Assam spent money like water in publicity, chopper driven transportation and the like and said that without a strong corporate backing such a ‘lavish election campaign is unimaginable.’
Gogoi also said that never before in the history of Assam did it happen that the Union Finance Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister visited the State and held meeting with the business men.
“The people of Assam are intelligent enough to understand the fallout of such meetings. The huge amount spent on election campaign must have stemmed out from black money pumped in by the sources best known to the BJP,” Gogoi said.
Gogoi also cast his apprehension and asked, “Will someone give so much of money without return benefit? The reason behind is everybody’s guess”.
In view of this development, Gogoi said no matter what justifications come from the saffron party, the top brass of the State BJP will never be able to hoodwink the people of Assam from the real issue.
