If they are in the majority, they should not ask people to join. I think this is a political gimmick that is going on," Tirkey said. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said several times in the last one month that all Congress leaders, including state chief Bhupen Kuma Bora, will join the BJP after the Lok Sabha elections. Will be included. In recent times, many Congress leaders across Assam have joined the BJP."They (BJP) are seeing that their strongholds are slowly being eroded.

The Congress candidate claimed that people are fed up with this BJP government. Wherever I have gone, people are saying that this (election) is like another freedom movement. Want freedom from."

"People want a solution to inflation, which is affecting everyone. If we look at the tea garden areas, the wage of Rs 351, which was promised, has not been given. So pitiful for a tea garden labourer. It is very difficult to survive in the situation.It is difficult to support children's education and the health care of the elderly."Tea garden people were also promised land rights, which have been denied so far. The BJP also sought to grant ST status to six communities, including tea tribes. It was promised, and it has not been fulfilled yet. In the name of 'Acche Din', we only got inflation and unemployment, nothing good happened."
Tirkey claimed that the government has “abandoned the tea tribe community despite getting an overwhelming mandate from the plantation areas.“I am seeing a change in the heart of the tea garden community,” she said.
