Assam Assembly poll: Congress-led Mahajot party count now 10
The Hindu
The size of the Congress-led Mahajot (grand alliance) family in poll-bound Assam has increased to 10.
Two community-based parties — Jimochayan (Deori) People’s Party, or JDPP, and Adivasi National Party (ANP) — together claim to have influence in some 50 of the State’s 126 Assembly seats. They joined the Mahajot during the past 72 hours. The JDPP represents the Deori community and the ANP the Adivasis, loosely referred to as “tea tribes” and “ex-tea tribes”.More Related News
