Guwahati, March 31: An overly upbeat Tarun Gogoi today couldn?t resist taking a dig at the Opposition for roping in Bollywood personalities to halt the ?Congress juggernaut? in Elections 2006.

?I have never seen the Opposition so nervous in my political life. Staring at imminent defeat at the hands of the Congress, both the AGP and the BJP have sent an SOS to Bollywood for help,? a beaming Gogoi said.

He described the Bollywood stars campaigning in the state as ?lifesaving drugs? for the AGP and the BJP.

The chief minister said even star power would not be able to revive the flagging political fortunes of the Opposition parties.

He claimed that the Congress would get an absolute majority in the polls.

Yesteryears ?dream girl? Hema Malini and small screen bahu Smriti Irani are campaigning for the BJP, while Jaya Bachchan and Jayaprada have been roped in by the AGP to seek votes for its candidates.

What must have riled the ruling Congress more is that Jaya Bachchan even read out a message from husband Amit-abh for the people of Assam at an election rally at Tinsukia yesterday to thunderous applause from the audience.

?With due regards to Bhupen Hazarika, I would like to mention that when the music maestro contested the Lok Sabha election on a BJP ticket from Guwahati, he had to taste defeat at the hands of Congress candidate Kirip Chaliha. So one can well imagine what impact these Bollywood stars will have on the voters of Assam,? Gogoi said.

?I am confident that the star power will neither work for the BJP nor the AGP in Assam as voters here are very conscious.?

Gogoi minced no words while criticising former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh for campaigning for the AGP.

?After not being able to save his own party in Andhra Pradesh, Naidu has now come to Assam to rescue the AGP. Once a hero, Naidu is now a big zero in his home state,? he said.

An eloquent Gogoi did not spare the Assam United Democratic Front (AUDF) either, saying the BJP and the new party were two sides of the same coin.

?The AUDF is the dividing factor, while the Congress is the unifying factor. The minorities will commit a big mistake if they vote for any party other than the Congress, which is the only secular par-ty,? said Union water resource minister Saifuddin Soz.

In a veiled attack on the Shahi Imam of the Jama Masjid, Maulana Syed Ahmed Bukhari, for supporting the AUDF, Soz said ?discredited people who cannot even manage Wakf properties have no right to offer advice to minorities in Assam?.
