In an interaction with local mediapersons here right after filing the nomination papers, Mahanta said that any kind of understanding, either open or secret, between the Congress and AIUDF could not stop him this time in Kaliabor because he had been nominated by the biggest alliance parties represented by the people of all tribes, castes, communities and religions of the constituency.

On the other hand, State BJP president Ranjit Kumar Dass said that BJP often alleged about the nexus between Congress and AIUDF, sometimes it was open and sometimes it was kept secret. But this time everything was kept open. Hence the people would definitely exercise the franchise in favour of the BJP and its alliance parties.
