In a statement, Gogoi said, “To keep the unity of the state intact and to continue the development, a person with a broad mind should be appointed as the governor of the state.”
He observed that Acharya had broken his oath taken as the constitutional head of the state by reportedly commenting that “Hindustan is only for Hindus”, which had “demeaned” the post. Gogoi alleged that Acharya was working more as an “RSS Pracharak” than a constitutional head of the state.
