The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) in a message through its mouthpiece Freedom on May 2, warned the Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi not to underestimate the group’s ‘strength’. It also said that he should not repeat the ‘mistakes’ of his predecessor Prafulla Kumar Mahanta in this regard. The message said, "He (Gogoi) should not deceive the people of Assam like the already-ruined Mahanta who uttered statements day and night about the death of Ulfa.
