SILCHAR: Assam Congress president Bhupen Borah hinted on Saturday that the party might reconsider its plans for seat-sharing with TMC in the state for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. This was in response to TMC’s refusal to form an alliance with Congress in Bengal.
“In Bengal, Trinamool offered two of the 42 Lok Sabha seats to Congress, which had demanded six.TMC chief and CM Mamata Banerjee rejected any possibility of an alliance with Congress. Therefore, you can understand our possible stand in Assam, where there are 14 Lok Sabha seats,” said Borah, currently touring southern Assam’s Barak Valley.
In 2019, BJP secured nine seats in Assam, while its allies – AGP and BPF – failed to win any. Congress managed to secure three, while AIUDF and an Independent won one seat each.
Borah urged Congress members to take personal responsibility for their designated booths, aiming to strengthen the party’s presence across Barak Valley. “Assam PCC will help and assist each and every party worker,” he said.
