DIBRUGARH:
Sitting MLA from Dibrugarh Prasanta Phukan filed his nomination for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections from Dibrugarh seat at the office of the Deputy Commissioner on Monday, March 8.
Talking to media persons, three-time MLA Prasanta Phukan exuded confidence, and said that he would win by a margin of 40,000 votes from the Dibrugarh constituency.
"I have done works for Dibrugarh constituency. If you think that I have not done works for Dibrugarh, then do not vote for me," Phukan said.
"When I was elected as the MLA of Dibrugarh for the first time in 2006, I had to start from the beginning because the previous legislator had done nothing for Dibrugarh. Today, 99 per cent of Dibrugarh's roads have been constructed and, 70 per cent of the drainage work have been completed. In the coming days, we will complete the work," said the sitting MLA of Dibrugarh.
Phukan stated that the fight in Dibrugarh would be between the BJP and Congress.
