BJP will come to power in Assam: Gadkari

Guwahati, Jan 10 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari Saturday said the party would be able to form the next government in Assam by ousting the Congress from power in the upcoming assembly elections due in the next couple of months.

'The BJP is confident of forming a government in Assam as the people have been fed up with rampant corruption and scams in the state,' Gadkari told journalists on the sidelines of the party's two-day national executive meeting.

The BJP leader lashed out at the Congress party both at the centre and in Assam for 'unleashing a reign of corruption' and 'nepotism'.

'I am sure the national executive would inspire the people of Assam to seek a change and vote for the BJP,' Gadkari said.

He also cited a Vision Document for the Northeast, an agenda to boost development and bring about a social change in the region by way of good governance and strategies.

'There is a need for a change in Assam and the northeast as a whole where the Congress party has been ruling for years on. We promise to provide good governance and corruption free rule if given a chance,' the BJP president said.
