‘Ignorance’ by the BJP leaders on the demands of the AGP led to staging of walkout by the AGP leaders from the meeting.
The BJP reportedly is demanding at least 7 seats, which the AGP had won in the 2016 Assam Assembly Elections.
The AGP has been in alliance with the BJP in Assam since 2016.
The first phase of Assam Assembly elections would be held on March 27.
