Tezpur (Assam): Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi on Saturday kicked off her partys Assembly election campaign in Assam urging the people to remain vigilant against the communal and evil forces at large during the hustings.
"Assam in particular and the North East region in general is an example of secularism. But now the people will have to be aware that the communal and evil forces will be at large, particularly as election is around," warned Gandhi, addressing a public rally here.
"But I know the people will realise the real character of the evil forces and defeat their nefarious designs," she said.
Gandhi also said, "Since the Congress government came to power in Assam five years ago, the law and order situation had totally changed for the better."
Attacking the previous Asom Gana Parishad government, she said, "During the AGP government the people were afraid to come out of their houses after dark. Now it is not the case."
On the ailing tea industry in the state, the Congress president said, "I am aware that the tea industry here is facing a problem. However, the UPA government has taken up the responsibility and the commerce ministry is soon going to announce a package to ease the situation."
