He further said, "The masses of this constituency hardly know the Raijor Dal candidate"; adding that "during the floods, he (Raijor Dal candidate) used to stay in Guwahati and during the times when the people faced problems from the wild herds of elephants, the (Raijor Dal candidate) did not help them." Minister Hazarika added, "I was present in the (Raijor Dal candidate) village booths and when I asked the public as to whether they know the Raijor Dal candidate -- Dhaijya Konwar, 40 per cent of the masses replied that they did not know Konwar. Since the person is not known in the village then how would he work for the Constituency?"
