Assam Opposition Unity Hangs in Balance Amid Disagreements
Some opposition parties in Assam wanted to join forces to beat the ruling BJP in the next state election.
But they're having trouble getting along and working together.
A group called Assam Nagarik Sanmilan is worried that if they don't stop arguing and start talking to people, the BJP will win again.
They think the opposition needs to understand that just sharing seats won't be enough to beat the BJP's tricks.
