A press release issued by Ajit Kumar Bhuyan and general secretary Lurinjyoti Gogoi remarked, “The outcomes of the bye-polls in Behali, Samaguri, Bongaigaon, Sidli, and Dholai Assembly constituencies are not favourable for democratic and secular politics. However, respecting the people’s mandate, as per democratic norms, we congratulate all five victorious candidates.”
