We will not spare " betrayer " P K Mahanta

AASU salvo on AGP, blasts Goswami for compromising on ideologyGUWAHATI, April 5: The new leadership of the AASU has warned the AGP, especially its president Brindaban Goswami, not to promote Prafulla Kumar Mahanta in the party and criticized the AGP president for compromising with his ideology to become the Chief Minister of Assam.
In a hard-hitting statement, AASU general secretary Tapan Kumar Gogoi said that the AGP which was formed following the success of the Assam Agitation to lead the people of the State on its path to regionalism has, of late, strayed away from its original ethics and slaughtered the ideals of regionalism.
"Mahanta and his colleagues betrayed the people when they were in power", the premier student body claimed, while castigating AGP president Brindaban Goswami for welcoming the founder president and two times Chief Minister of Assam Prafulla Kumar Mahanta into the AGP fold.
"Mahanta with full support from the then Home Minister and the present BJP president LK Advani, masterminded the secret killings, turned his back to the historic Assam Accord, took refuge in family-centred politics, gave consent to the inclusion of Assam soil in ‘Nagalim’ and poured cold water to the hopes and wishes of the martyrs. In the truest sense of the term, Mahanta is a betrayer of the Assamese", Mr Gogoi alleged.
Coming down heavily on Brindaban Goswami for befriending a "person", who allegedly plotted the killings of innocent people, including the family members of the senior ULFA leader Mithinga Daimari, Jyotish Sharma, Dilip Choudhury, brother-in-law of ULFA leader Sasha Choudhury, Dimba Rajkonwar, Babul Ingti, Uma Gogoi and others, the students body said that the AGP president has compromised with his ideology just to grab power.
Saying that the AASU will not spare Mahanta, the AASU general secretary warned the AGP that inviting Mahanta into the party fold will be suicidal
