AIDUF ‘hand in glove’ with BJP: Assam CM

Guwahati : Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Sunday said the AIUDF has entered into a “tacit understanding” with the BJP to defeat Congress candidates by engineering a split in votes and ensuring victory of the saffron party. The remark comes a day after party chief Badruddin Ajmal announced that the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) would field candidates for polls only on 60 of the 126 seats. “By deciding to field candidates in at least 60 constituencies where they have no chances of winning, AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal has entered into a political game plan with the BJP, like it did in the last Parliamentary elections,” Gogoi said.−PTI
