Guwahati, May 2: Lurinjyoti Gogoi, president of the Assam Jatiya Parishad, on May 2 dismissed the credibility of recent exit poll projections ahead of the Assam Assembly election results, asserting that his party remains confident of forming the government.
Speaking to reporters in Guwahati, Gogoi described the exit poll forecasts as “totally bogus” and alleged that they were designed to create psychological pressure on party workers and administrative officials. He further claimed that the projections were driven by a “clear agenda” and intended to influence the political narrative in the state.
Expressing confidence in his party’s prospects, Gogoi stated that the outcome of the elections would be in their favour, rejecting the projections put forward by various agencies.
The AJP leader also criticised the policies of the National Democratic Alliance government, particularly over the recent increase in commercial LPG cylinder prices. He said that rising fuel costs have remained a persistent issue during the tenure of the ruling dispensation.
Gogoi further alleged that earlier assurances made to the public regarding a reduction in fuel prices after coming to power had not been fulfilled, arguing that the policy direction had been contrary to those commitments.
His remarks come amid ongoing political exchanges over exit poll predictions and economic concerns, with parties positioning themselves ahead of the official declaration of election results.
