Narendra Modi a better magician than PC Sarkar: Tarun Gogoi

Jorhat, March 18: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a "good magician" before elections.

"Prime Minister Modi is more than PC Sarkar. He has got great magical power and super magical power. He is a very good marketeer for his party products and gives tall and false promises," Gogoi said.

"PM Modi is a big man, who has no relation with common people. He has relations with big countries like the US, China, Japan, Australia, UAE etc," Gogoi added.

The Chief minster went on to claim that the Congress will win over 65 seats in the state's 126-seat Assembly in the upcoming assembly polls and will form a majority government.

After attending a party workers' meet, Gogoi told reporters that the ruling party will be back to power by winning more than 65 seats and will form the government without help from any other party.

On campaigning of the party, he said Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Ghulam Nabi Azad will visit the state in the coming days to appeal voters for casting their franchise in favour of Congress.

Regarding JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar's possibility to campaign for Congress in the state, Gogoi said it is unlikely.
