Assam Candidate's Promise To Voters: 'I Will Never Betray You'

It sounds more like a lover라이브 바카라 pro­mise than a politician라이브 바카라 pre-poll vow. But then, Upamanyu Hazarika is not a politician—and a candidate only by chance, as he puts it. So, when his campaign pamphlet includes the curious sentence, “I will never betray you”, the people of Assam are not missing the wry humour around political fickleness. Hazarika, 53—a Supreme Court lawyer—is an ind­ependent ­candidate for the prestigious Gauhati Lok Sabha seat, which goes to the polls on April 23. He will primarily take on two women—Queen Oja of the BJP and Congress라이브 바카라 Bobbeeta Sharma.

Hazarika라이브 바카라 main agenda is “illegal inf­il­tration”, especially from Bangladesh, which, he says, threatens the identity of Assam라이브 바카라 indigenous people. It is not a new issue. Political fortunes have been made around it, like that of the AGP. The Congress and, lately, the BJP has milked it multiple times. But Hazarika says that all these parties failed to keep their promises.

“Especially in Assam, the ­people have been betrayed time and again by various political parties inclu­ding the AGP which was formed to safeguard the indigenous people. The result so far is zero. So, I had to mention that I will be loyal to my cause and to the people,” Hazarika tells 바카라 as he gets ready for campaigning in Chhaygaon which falls under Guwahati. “Our main issues remained the same over the years. The indigenous people are still under threat. The border is yet to be sealed...I want to see a state which is free from the infil­trators and where the indi­genous people can live peacefully,” Hazarika adds.

Hazarika has been vocal opp­onent of the lapsed citizenship amendment bill, which had sparked violent ­protests across Assam and Northeast recently. But with the issue fizzling out, will the people still back him? “There are 18 lakh indigenous voters in Guwahati... And there라이브 바카라 ­nobody with the indi­genous people in the true sense. I have been fighting a lone battle for the security and safety of the indigenous people. The res­ponse in the ground has been overwhelming. So, I think that라이브 바카라 a positive gesture,” Hazarika adds.
