"Yesterday AGP leader Prafulla Kumar Mahanta said that Congress government in Assam has failed in all fronts. We will go to public and release a white paper giving details of what our government has done in last 11 years in all fields and what the previous AGP regimes did," Gogoi said here.
Claiming that his government has carried out much more development activities, Gogoi said the AGP leader was trying to divert people's attention of the failures of the two terms when Mahanta was the CM.
"I accept that in some areas I have failed. I have failed because during my time there has been no secret killings in Assam, in my time teachers have not resorted to strikes over non-payment of salary and I have not ordered arrest of senior journalists for what they are writing," the Chief Minister said in a lighter note.
Asked about AGP leader Mahanta's call to mobilise people against the government, Gogoi said: "We welcome it. In democracy the opposition should be strong".
Regarding Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's tweets about the foreigners issue in Assam, Gogoi said "it is an insult to the whole country and Assam".
He added: "We will allow foreigners to be king makers. The people of Assam will not allow illegal immigrants to be king makers". (MORE)
