Assam polls | Regional front could have been factor in loss of Congress, allies
The Hindu
BJP-led alliance said it also suffered a few setbacks because of the front of the CAA-sired Assam Jatiya Parishad and jailed activist Akhil Gogoi’s Raijor Dal.
The regional front of Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) and jailed activist Akhil Gogoi’s Raijor Dal (RD) could have been a factor in the failure of the Congress-led ‘Mahajot’ or grand alliance in dislodging the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies in Assam. The BJP-led ‘Mitrajot’ (group of friends) won 75 of the 126 Assembly seats in the State while the ‘Mahajot’ had to settle with 50. Mr. Gogoi was the lone winner for the regional front that engaged in “friendly fight” in a few constituencies. Both the AJP and the RD were forged in the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act fire that had swept Assam briefly in December 2019.
