Pre-poll violence takes serious turn in Samaguri; gunshots fired at BJP MLA Jitu Goswami’s car; PSO injured, Goswami escapes unhurt

Political violence in Samaguri constituency has taken a serious and worrying turn with miscreants, whom the BJP alleged were Congress and their henchmen, firing three rounds of bullets at the car of Barhampur MLA Jitu Goswami last night.

The incident took place at Mori Puthikhaity in Samaguri.

Jitu Goswami, who was in the vehicle and was campaigning for BJP candidate Diplu Ranjan Sarmah, escaped unhurt although one of his PSOs was injured while the vehicle suffered damages following the attack.

“We were passing through the area when stones were first pelted on us and then three shots were fired from the house of a Congress worker. I was in my car along with Suresh Bora and my PSOs. I escaped unhurt but one of my PSOs was injured,” Jitu Goswami told Time8, and added: “The Congress leader is harbouring terrorists and they should be arrested.”

“We had to run for our lives. The Congress is involved in the attack and strict action should be taken against those involved in the violence,” another BJP leader said.

“Shots were fired at the vehicle of Barhampur MLA Jitu Goswami. Rakibul Hussain is trying to create fear psychosis among the minds of voters and today’s incident is no incident. Even journalists have been targeted. Rakibul Hussain knows that his son Tanzil will lose the by-polls this time and therefore he is resorting to violence. Police have launched an investigation and I hope the culprits will be arrested very soon,” Minister Bimal Borah, who was also campaigning in Samaguri, told Time8 after the incident.

Samaguri will go to by-polls on Nov 13 along with four other constituencies.

Results will be declared on Nov 23.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma condemns violence, bid on BJP MLA Jitu Goswami’s life at Samuguri
GUWAHATI, Nov 10: Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma has condemned the pre-poll violence at Samaguri yesterday during which bullets were fired at BJP MLA Jitu Goswami’s car when he was campaigning for party candidate Diplu Ranjan Sarmah.

The attack, Goswami and other BJP leaders said, was carried out from the residence of a Congress leader when they were cross Mori Puthikhaity area in Samaguri.

“I strongly condemn the attack on Hon’ble MLA Shri Jitu Goswami in Samaguri by @INCAssam supporters.

This is the same Congress that proudly holds up the Constitution for the cameras, yet resorts to violence under cover of darkness to intimidate our karyakartas.

The real question is, why has Congress stooped to such depths in this by-election? It’s not just fear of defeat but the desperation to hold on to their core vote bank that drives them to such extremes.

Justice will be served, and we will not allow anyone to sabotage or undermine our democratic process,” he wrote on ‘X’, formerly Twitter.
