Hagrama Mohilary further exuded confidence of securing a complete majority by the Grand Alliance and form the next Government in Assam.
“I am confident that we can secure simple majority,” Hagrama Mohilary said.
Hagrama Mohilary further said that there’s “no need” for the Grand Alliance to win over 100 seats.
“What’s the use of winning 100 seats, when one can form a Government by winning only 64 seats. Winning 70 seats would be more than enough,” said BPF Chief Hagrama Mohilary.
With the joining of BPF, the number of Grand Alliance constituents has risen to 7.
