Assam Opposition Unity in Doubt
The Congress and Raijor Dal, two opposition parties in Assam, had a meeting to discuss how they will share seats in the upcoming elections.
Both sides said the meeting went well, but there are some disagreements.
The Congress offered Raijor Dal some seats, but Raijor Dal is not happy with all the offers.
They are still talking and trying to work things out.
The elections are expected in March, and everyone wants the opposition to be united to challenge the ruling party, BJP.
However, if they can't agree on the seats, their unity might be in trouble.
Congress and Raijor Dal held a strategic meeting in Kaziranga to discuss seat-sharing for Assam Assembly elections.
Both parties expressed optimism about the meeting, but disagreements persist over seat allocation.
Congress offered Raijor Dal three seats initially, with additional seats proposed later.
Raijor Dal is unhappy with some of the proposed seats, as they lack influence in those areas.
Opposition unity is crucial to challenge the BJP in the upcoming elections, but seat-sharing talks remain unresolved.
