Meanwhile, in a statement issued to the press today, the State BJP criticized former Forest Minister Rakibul Hussain for his recent outbursts against the BJP in the State Assembly. Hussain was on record initiating his speech in the House by saying ‘a table can’t be cleaned by rubbing it with a dirty cloth. It rather makes the table dirtier.’

The party said that the most corrupt minister in the Congress regime in the State is apprehensive of the tough stand taken by the Government in the State led by Chief Minister Sarbanda Sonowal.
