Raijor Dal supporters celebrate Akhil Gogoi’s win from Sivsagar on Sunday GUWAHATI: The Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) and Raijor Dal (RD), two new political parties born out of the anti-CAA movement, not only failed to make a mark in the elections, but also ended up helping the BJP, their main opponent, by splitting Opposition votes. Insiders in both the parties blamed the Congress’s decision to ally with Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF, which many caste Assamese organizations call a ‘communal party’. And this is being seen as the prime reason for votes swinging in BJP’s favour. Only RD could open its account by sending its firebrand president and jailed peasant leader Akhil Gogoi to the assembly from the prestigious Sivasagar seat. But despite high expectations, another promising leader and former All Assam Students’ Union (Aasu) general secretary, Lurinjyoti Gogoi, lost both in Duliajan and Naharkatia seats in upper Assam, which were in the vortex of anti-CAA protests earl
