"If our candidates win in Mariani and Thowa, then our MLA will be three and among them, myself will be one. If it happens, we could shake Himanta Biswa Sarma on the assembly floor. It could be only done by us. Only we could resist communal forces. The Congress and the AIUDF could not do it," he added.
