Sitting BJP MP from Jorhat Lok Sabha seat, Topon Kumar Gogoi, exuded confidence in retaining the constituency by trouncing his rival Gaurav Gogoi of the Congress by a margin of over two lakh votes.
In an interview to PTI, the BJP leader asserted that people of his constituency and the entire country want Narendra Modi elected as prime minister for the third consecutive term so that the "development journey continues”. He also claimed that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, which the Opposition is "trying to make an election issue", is not a concern among voters.
"My campaigning is going on very well. Political meetings are being held in every panchayat of all the legislative assembly constituencies of Jorhat, and I am getting spontaneous reactions from people irrespective of religion, caste and creed," the BJP MP said.
