The state is covered with goons, “Pandas”and “Dandas”. Besides, the state has turned into a cradle of corruption. “Number of unemployed is increasing day by day. The unemployed who have passed TET are taking to the streets for jobs. Nursing students came down to the streets to demand recruitment and are facing obstacles from the police.

They have no idea where the state is going”. Mentioning that he served as the health minister of the state for 17 months during this BJP- IPFT coalition government, Sudip Roy Barman said, “I thought to deliver service to the common people, but I failed to do so because of the corrupt negative minded people sitting in the ministry”.Sudip urged upon the common people to support the Congress in order to free the people from the misrule of the BJP government.Atotal of 167 voters from 53 families joined the Congress party.
