On the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections in five seats in Assam and the Tripura, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said there was no 'Modi magic' in the state and Congress would win more than 10 seats.

"There is no Modi magic, but Tarun Gogoi magic in Assam. Earlier, I have said we'll win 10 seats, but now I am sure Congress will get more than that," he said after casting his vote.

"The so-called Modi wave is the creation of private electronic media channels, but the Congress wave is there in the fields, plains and hills of Assam," Gogoi said.

The polling percentage in the current Lok Sabha polls in the state was expected to cross 75 per cent turnout in the 2011 state assembly elections, he said.

Referring to Kaliabor, where his son Gaurav Gogoi is contesting as a Congress candidate, the chief minister said the people of the constituency had a lot of love and affection for him and his family and they came out in large numbers since 6 am to cast their votes.
