Troubled by factionalism in Meghalaya, Congress in Assam may go alone in Assam
The BJP and its strategic regional allies in the Northeast are confident of winning most of the 10 Assembly seats, where by-elections have been scheduled on October 30.
Five of the seats are in Assam, three in Meghalaya and one each on Mizoram and Nagaland.
BJP’s Assam unit president Bhabesh Kalita is upbeat about the party and one of its regional allies sweeping the five seats. The BJP would contest the Bhabanipur, Gossaigaon, Mariani and Thowrah seats, while ally United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) would fight the Tamulpur seat.
