Guwahati: The opposition parties appear to be rushing to form an alliance against the BJP as the Lok Sabha elections get closer.
The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) President Bhupen Bora and leaders from around 11 political parties met on Thursday at the Hotel Lily in Guwahati.
The meeting was also attended by AICC’s General Secretary Jitendra Singh.
According to reports, several election-related initiatives were discussed in the meeting for the impending Lok Sabha elections next year.
During a presser after the meeting, APCC President Bhupen Bora said, “We invited the Aam Aadmi Party to the meeting; however, they couldn’t make it. We had a conversation over the phone and we have decided that Satya Pal Malik’s statements in his recent interview should be probed.”
“All parties will go to Delhi on constituency rescheduling,” he further added.
It should be noted that Badruddin Ajmal, the head of the All-India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), was not invited to the meeting.
Bora shared pictures of the meeting in his official twitter handle where he wrote, “Sharing few snapshots of all opposition parties meeting just started in Hotel Lili, Guwahati in presence of state leadership of 11 political parties under the aegis of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee.
