Twitter war: Gogoi slams Modi over Kodnani

"Announcing Modi as prime ministerial candidate also proves that the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) dictates everything in the BJP," he said.



"There have been a galaxy of leaders in the BJP, including A.B. Vajpayee, M.M. Joshi, Venkaiah Naidu and others. However, all of them have been diminished due to Modi," Gogoi said, adding that "Modi magic" would not work in Assam.

The Gujarat chief minister is likely to visit Assam in November this year, and is expected to address at least five public rallies in different parts of the state.

"The Modi magic is not going to work in Assam. We have Srimanta Sankardev and Madhabdev and Ajan Fakir in Assam and their magic will work in Assam," Gogoi said.
