Correspondent SILCHAR, April 10 – “The Congress party has played the Muslim card for the last sixty years. This year I will play the Hindu card against the Congress,” said Badruddin Ajmal, AUDF supremo at a press conference organised at Darul Ullam Madrasa of Baskandi.
Ajmal said that he was confident of getting all Muslim votes but he also exuded hope that Hindu people will also vote for him this time. Ajmal was here in his second phase of election campaigning.
Regarding the allegation of the Opposition that there is shortage of good leaders in Barak Valley and therefore there is need of outsourcing leaders from outside, Ajmal quipped earlier in Cachar district leaders were exported, not imported. This is the first time that a leader from outside is being imported. That means the place needs a change.”
Ajmal further said that there is a big dearth of leadership in Barak Valley. After Mainul Haque Choudhury, there is no such successful leader. Ajmal agreed that in Assam there is an “understanding” of Congress and BJP in some areas. “Gogoi will be solely responsible for BJP obtaining seats in Assam, he added.
In his second visit to Barak Valley Ajmal campaigned at Aruanbond Tea Estate, Pangram, Mathurapool, Krishnapupur etc. It was noticed while delivering lectures that he urged votes from the masses for the development of the region. He said, particularly in the tea garden areas, that there will be lots of development. There will be no compromise in the name of development.
“History reveals that Congress only takes, never gives, I have come to politics not to increase the volume of my property and neither is my family is facing financial hardship. I have no such financial problem in my family,” Ajmal said.
Ajmal strongly condemned the allegation that he is an outsider. If Dr Manmohan Singh can come to Assam from Punjab, Sonia Gandhi from Italy to Rae Bareilly, SM Dev from Silchar to Agartala, why not Ajmal from Hojai to Silchar.
It is apparent that Ajmal’s eye is on 1,85,244 (18.93%) tea garden labour voters. It will be a deciding factor since Muslim votes are above three lakh, which according to Ajmal are in his favour. Further, Ajmal was seen wooing the Manipuri community too, which constitutes of 6.33 per cent. ASSAM TRIBUNE
