GUWAHATI: The central executive of the Asom Gana Parishad has unanimously decided that they won't be in alliance with parties supporting the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill. 

For the coming Lok Sabha polls, the AGP has formed a 9-member committee headed by party president Atul Bora. 

This committee will have a final say on the alliance partner for the Lok Sabha polls. The AGP had walked out of the coalition government in Assam protesting the controversial bill. 

Interestingly, the resignations of the three ministers from AGP have not been forwarded to the governor till date. 

There have been speculations that the AGP might join the BJP-led government. It is learnt that Meghalaya chief minister and NDA partner Conrad Sangma has been initiating the talks to revive the partnership.
