A social and cultural activist, Deka has been associated with several cultural and social work in the constituency and he strongly believes that his association with Hari Mandir and the Nalbari Raas Mahotsav has only added to his popularity.

"The general public is facing the brunt of BJP's wrong policies and the party has failed to control the price hike. It collects money from the cement companies and due to this cement price has skyrocketed in the state," Deka said.

He also criticised the government for supporting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and said, "Assam and the Assamese identity will be threatened once CAA is implemented."

"If Assam Jatiya Parishad comes to power in the state, we won't allow the implementation of CAA in the state," he further said.
