BJP eager to form alliance with AGP?

Guwahati, Feb 27 (IBNS) : After a debacle in the Bihar Assembly polls, the BJP is aiming to capture Assam by a rainbow alliance with regional party and tribal groups in the state.

To defeat the Congress in the assembly polls in the state hardly left for a month, the saffron party is much eager to form an alliance with the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and it is cleared after BJP’s national president Amit Shah sent a letter to AGP for seeking a list of constituencies which they want.

Recently, Amit Shah sent a letter to AGP president Atul Bora and sought a list of assembly constituencies which they want.

A top source of the BJP said that so far it is not a clear picture on poll alliance with the AGP but the party leaders have tried to make it.

“We hope that the AGP leaders will  agree on the issue,” a top leader of BJP’s Assam unit said.

Earlier BJP had formed an alliance with Hagrama Mahilary led Bodoland People’s Front (BPF).

On the other hand, BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma, former lieutenant of Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that his party will form the next government.

“BJP and alliance parties will capture 64 plus seats out of 126 constituencies in next assembly poll,” Sarma said.

“It will be more improved if a rainbow alliance is made,” the BJP leader said.
