Assam Political Parties Prepare for 2026 Elections
The Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) is getting ready for the 2026 elections in Assam.
They want all the parties that don't like the BJP to work together so that their votes don't get split.
The AJP says the BJP is not good for Assam's land, culture, and democracy.
Meanwhile, there are some fights within the BJP and AGP alliance about who gets to contest which seats.
The BJP workers want the Kaliabor seat, but the AGP has had it before and might contest alone if they don't get their way.
Both parties are preparing hard for the elections.
AJP resolves to forge opposition unity to prevent division of anti-BJP votes for 2026 Assam elections.
AJP president Lurinjyoti Gogoi pledges to 'uproot' BJP from Assam and safeguard the state's identity and culture.
AJP general secretary Jagadish Bhuyan emphasizes the need for a common candidate to avoid vote splitting among anti-BJP parties.
AJP claims to have garnered nearly seven lakh votes in its first electoral outing within 100 days of formation.
BJP and AGP experience tensions over seat-sharing arrangements for the 2026 elections, with BJP workers demanding the Kaliabor seat and AGP threatening to contest independently.
