GUWAHATI: Ahead of the Assam assembly poll in 2021, the Congress and All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) are likely to join hands to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state.
Tarun Gogoi said on Tuesday, August 18, that the Congress party wishes to form an alliance with the AIUDF.

“Not only AIUDF, we also want an alliance with other opposition parties of Assam. We have opened our doors for all parties who are opposed to the BJP,” said Gogoi.
Gogoi further added, "There is a wave against the BJP in the state. The youth, farmers, tribals and Bengalis in the state feel they have been cheated. The people of Assam today want a grand alliance."

Although there is no official seal to the alliance yet, Tuesday's meeting of the Assam Pradesh Congress core committee at a Guwahati hotel has set the ball rolling. The meeting was attended by senior leaders including Assam Congress chief Ripun Bora and All India Mahila Congress President Susmita Deb.
