CMSS leader resigns

'Akhil Gogoi has been working in favour of Congress party'

FROM A CORRESPONDENT

JORHAT, April 8:  In another blow to peasants’ organization Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), the working president of Chah Shramik Mukti Sragam Samiti (CSMSS), a sister organization of the KMSS has resigned from the organization on Friday protesting the alleged nexus of KMSS leader Akhil Gogoi with Congress party in view of the Assembly polls in the State.

The development came three-day after senior KMSS leader Kamal Kumar Medhi resigned from the organization making some similar allegations against KMSS founder secretary Akhil Gogoi. 

 Medhi resigned from the organization in Guwahati on April 5.

Addressing a press conference at Jorhat press club on Friday, CSMSS working president Sanjoy Kris Tanti alleged that Akhil Gogoi has been working for Congress party during and before the Assembly polls in the state in order to fulfill some of his vested interests.

“Gogoi has been doing all his works in favour of Congress party in the assembly polls keeping the people of the state in dark. Being the founder secretary of the organization, Gogoi imposed archy on the other leaders and workers of the organization.  We have strongly opposed this unwanted motive of Gogoi and have decided to leave the organization,” Tanti said.

He also said, “I feel due to some wrong decisions and actions of Akhil Gogoi KMSS has lost its popularity among the people of the state. Due to some short sightedness and self interested character the KMSS has also lost democracy inside and outside the organization.”

In his resigtion letter, the senior tea tribe leader also made some questions to Akhil Gogoi like the results of the movement of land pattas, Corruptions of the Congress government and the sacrifices of the martyrs those lost their lives in KMSS agitations.

 “I, on behalf of the people of the state, want to know from Akhil Gogoi as to why Akhil Gogoi has compromised with Congress party after a pregnt KMSS worker was sustained miscarriage on assault of the forces of ruling Congress government during a protest programme, as to why he forget about the ultimate sacrifice of martyrs like Prab Bodo and Ruhul Ali only to fulfill his vested interests?” Tanti said.
