Guwahati: Replacing chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar will not bring Congress to power, Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia said on Thursday.“Gyanesh Kumar can be replaced, but even if he is, Congress will never come to power. Replacing him will not make Rahul Gandhi the PM either. Until the Congress replaces Rahul Gandhi, nothing can be done,” Saikia said.On the Oct 6 Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll, Saikia said BJP was in a strong position.BJP has fielded former IAS officer Devasish Sharma, who took voluntary retirement on Sept 4 and joined the party on Sept 8. He was Nagaon’s district commissioner.Sharma is contesting against Congress candidate Sibamoni Bora and AIUDF chief and Binnakandi MLA Badruddin Ajmal, a three-time MP from Dhubri.“Congress is a party of those who destroy society; BJP is a party that builds society, a party of karyakartas who dedicate themselves to nation-building,” Saikia said.Nagaon bypoll coordinator Dilip Kumar Sarma said CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s campaign was underway and party workers were conducting door-to-door outreach across the constituency. Party functionaries were active at state, district, Mandal and booth levels across the constituency.
