AIUDF Says Yes to Congress-led 'Grand Alliance' in Assam

News 18  

The Congress on Monday said that the opposition parties in the state have given a positive response to its proposed 'Grand Alliance' for taking on the BJP-led Assam government in the Assembly polls early next year. The All India United Democratic Front has already given consent to become a part of the 'Grand Alliance', while the Left parties have agreed in principle to join the coalition, Assam Pradesh Congress Committee president Ripun Bora said. AIUDF organisational general secretary Aminul Islam said his party's leaders have already held discussions with former chief minister Tarun Gogoi and decided to join the proposed 'Grand Alliance'. On the new regional entity 'Anchalik Gana Morcha' by Rajya Sabha member Ajit Kumar Bhuyan, who was supported by the Congress and AIUDF, Bora said the senior journalist has verbally informed about joining the alliance. The Congress leader, however, said that the All Assam Students' Union has declined to be a part of the alliance with its planned new party, to be formed jointly with Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuva Chhatra Parishad.
