AGP to form 8-party front to battle Cong, BJP

The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) on Monday brought together eight political parties and announced its efforts to constitute an anti-Congress and anti-BJP front with a common minimum programme in order to fight the ‘anti-people’ and ‘anti-Assam’ policies adopted by the two parties.

At a meeting, attended by representatives of these parties, the AGP also announced its first joint programme of staging a sit-in demonstration outside the Assam Legislative Assembly to protest against the anti-people and anti-Assam policies of the Congress and BJP at the state and Centre respectively.

Leaders of parties that attended Monday’s meeting presided over by AGP president Atul Bora included CPI, CPI(M), NCP, Samajwadi Party, Hill States Democratic Party, Gana Shakti, and CPI(ML).

“Leaders of the eight parties deliberated upon the anti-people and anti-Assam budget of the BJP government at the Centre as also the misrule and rampant corruption in Assam under the Congress government in the state.

They also decided to hold a convention in Guwahati soon after the first phase of a sit-in demonstration outside the state assembly on March 11,” AGP media secretary Manoj Saikia said.

“The BJP, from the day it assumed power at the Centre, has adopted a continuous anti-Assam stand. It has not only betrayed the people of Assam after taking their votes in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, but has also made serious attempts at weakening Assam through measures contained in its railway and general budget,” Saikia informed.

Meanwhile, Prodyut Bora, who had last week quit as the BJP, on Monday announced forming a new party called Liberal Democratic Party.

Bora, a former BJP National IT Cell convenor was also national executive member when he quit complaining against the “style of functioning” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.
