While the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), which is a partner in the coalition Government in Assam led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), announced to fight the Panchayat polls alone, the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has also geared up its grassroots level preparation for the upcoming Panchayat elections in the State.
Talking to Northeast Now over telephone from New Delhi, AIUDF general secretary Aminul Islam said the party is all set to fight and defeat BJP completely in the upcoming Panchayat elections.
“To make the state BJP free by defeating in the upcoming panchayat election, Lok Sabha poll as well as Assembly poll 2021 is AIUDF’s goal. BJP is not working for the interest of the indigenous people of the State. The saffron party will face its consequence in the coming elections,” Islam said.
