BJP is Replicating the Shiv Sena-Model in Assam. This Should Worry the AGP

Late on March 12, Ram Madhav, the BJP national general secretary in charge of the Northeast, emerged at the lobby of a posh hotel in Guwahati from a huddle of state party leaders and a handful of Asom Gana Parishad’s (AGP) top leaders.
Madhav, keeping the party strategist for the Northeast, Himanta Biswa Sarma and AGP president Atul Bora as well as his deputy Keshab Mahanta by his side, faced a battery of TV cameras. He announced “We are just one month away from the general elections. We would like to share a good news with the people of Assam and to all of you (media persons). As you all know, two years ago when the assembly elections happened in Assam, the BJP, together with the AGP and the BPF (Bodo People’s Front), fought the elections and defeated the Congress party. We formed the government together in the state. Today, in the coming parliamentary elections also, the three parties have decided to work together with the same purpose of defeating the Congress party in the coming parliamentary elections also.”
