Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) president Lurinjyoti Gogoi is confident that regional parties will storm into power in Assam this year.

Taking part in an election rally in Nalbari, Gogoi said that BJP has threatened the linguistic and cultural identity of Assam by deciding to implement CAA.

He was campaigning at the Kaithalkuchi area in the Dahrmapur assembly constituency for AJP candidate Dr Sikhar Kumar Sharma.

He urged the people to vote for Sarma so that anti-Assamese forces are ousted from the state.

He also criticised Chandra Mohan Patowary, state industry minister and BJP candidate from the constituency.
