I am confident of the Congress party winning the polls.

It is a very positive sign. We welcome the move and would provide all assistance to the Centre in its efforts for peace,

The presence of the prime minister in the talks is in itself an indication of the sincerity of the Indian government in solving the insurgency problem in Assam,

We have been requesting the Centre for long to hold talks with the ULFA. Since the outfit has now showed its interest for dialogue, we are hopeful,

I think we called in the army without much delay but the area is remote and deployment takes time,
