Guwahati, March 29 -- A Congress government unites people, whereas the BJP divides them, remarked Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Assam Congress election observer DK Shivakumar on Saturday during his multi-day visit to Assam.

While addressing a press conference in Guwahati, Shivakumar said that the political climate in Assam clearly indicates a wind of change as he referred to Guwahati's pleasant weather. "I am not merely saying there is anti-incumbency in Assam. I want to say this is the will of the people. The people of Assam want change and a better government. If we look at the history of Congress governments, they have always been inclusive. But under BJP governments, only authoritarianism prevails," he said, as per the release....
