“Our doors are opened for all like-minded parties. We have come forward on demand of the people of Assam to oust BJP from power. Today is a historic day for Assam. It is a first time in Assam that six political parties have now come forward to fight unitedly against BJP,” Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Ripun Bora said.
