AGP plans to snap ties with BJP
In a decision that could affect state politics, the main Opposition Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) on Monday decided to snap its election alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
This decision was taken here tonight in the general council meeting of the party, its spokesperson Apurba Bhattacharya said here.
The spirit of the meeting was to go for alliance with regional political parties rather than a national party, Mr Bhattacharya said.
"The unanimous decision was that a political platform of regional parties has to be formed to give a fight to the ruling Congress in next year’s assembly election," he said.
The party had a tie-up with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the last Assembly and Parliament election.
On the EVMs the party was of the view that a campaign has to be organised as the machines could be tampered.
About the current Opposition against construction of big dams in Arunachal Pradesh, the Asom Gana Parishad will chalkout an agitational programme against it as it will have adverse impact on the state.
The Asom Gana Parishad also slammed the government on the rise of price rise of essential commodities, he said. —PTI
