"Congress Leaving Us, We Accept": Assam's Badruddin Ajmal
NDTV
Congress' Assam unit chief Bhupen Borah, who had succeeded his predecessor Ripun Borah after Congress's abysmal poll performance, was against the alliance since the beginning.
All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal today said that "big brother Congress" has decided to end the alliance, and his party will abide by the decision. Once arch-rivals, the AIUDF and Congress had forged an alliance ahead of Assembly elections held in March-April to form a unified force against the incumbent BJP - a move that was widely criticised both within the party and by the masses too. "Congress is the big brother and it has decided to leave us without even asking us. But, we accept the decision," Ajmal, who is also a Lok Sabha MP, said. He further added that it was a "political alliance" and severing ties would rather be helpful for both the parties.More Related News
