PATNA: Bihar’s main opposition party RJD, which has already announced to contest assembly polls in Assam in alliance with the like-minded parties, on Sunday staked its claim on 16 constituencies which have sizeable number of Hindi and Bhojpuri speaking population.
“In Assam, we have identified 16 assembly constituencies which have more than 50,000 Hindi speaking voters. Most of the people in these constituencies have roots in Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. If the RJD is allowed to put its candidates from such seats in alliance with the like-minded parties, the alliance of opposition parties can give a tough contest to the BJP and its allies in Assam polls,” RJD’s national general secretary Shyam Rajak told TOI over phone.
