GUWAHATI: Congress-led Mahajot allies have said horse-trading attempts would not succeed in impacting the outcome of the just-concluded assembly election.
AIUDF candidate from Sonai, Karim Uddin Barbhuiya, on Monday made a sudden appearance on social media after he silently returned to Assam from Jaipur on Sunday. Barbhuiya’s return is significant not only from the AIUDF’s point of view but from the Mahajot perspective, as he is the coordinator of the grand alliance on behalf of Badruddin Ajmal’s party, a key ally of the Congress for the Assam election.
Even though there are reports of Congress flying out 18 of the 19 AIUDF candidates to Jaipur to ‘keep them away from poachers’, Barbhuiya, after returning, said that their Mahajot is ‘unbreakable’ and even some BJP candidates are in touch with them. They may extend support to the Congress-led alliance for the formation of a non-BJP government in the state, he said.
