Guwahati: Congress can offer AIDF to project the “non-political” consensus candidate for one of the two chairs of Rajya Sabha (RS) from Assam, if both parties failed to come to understanding.
In 126 members of the State Assembly, the Anti-BJP Party and candidates hope to send at least one member to the top.
Elections tend to be held in March for two rs seats from Assam.
The main opposition party, Congress, has provided responsibility for the leader of the Legislative Party of the Debabrata Saikia Congress to communicate with other parties to complete opposition candidates.
“Congress has not taken a radical establishment of Rajya Sabha candidate.
We may finally approve a non-political personality, if the consensus cannot be contacted,” said a source at Congress to Ti on Saturday.
The Congress leader said they could still manage 43 votes, another from the number needed to choose one of the two RS candidates.
Saikia said, “That (problem) is now open for discussion.
AIUD also demands that their choice must be an opposition candidate, whereas, becoming the biggest opposition party in the Assembly, Congress insisted that we must be given the opportunity.
Someone must go down,” he said.
He added that the Congress was ready to support AIudF candidates to be elected in the next RS election, every time more seats fell from the country.
In March 2020, Congress and Badruddin Ajmal-aiudf led together projected senior journalists and anti-CAA activists, Ajit Kumar Bhuyan, who were elected to the Parliamentary High Assembly.
The closeness between the two parties then sets the ball rolling on the formation of high polls 2021, where the congress and AIDF lead the opposition ‘Mahajot’.Audf Supremo Ajmal said his party must get the opportunity to nominate their candidates.
“AIUD always supports the congress.
This is our turn.
Even with 25 MLA, Congress cannot ensure their candidate’s victory without 15 Mola AIudf,” said Ajmal.
The fate of opposition candidates will also depend on MLA Akhil Gogoi and Lon Legislator CPM ManoRanjan Talukdar.
Congress has 27 MLA State Assemblies, including Sherman Ali Ahmed and Sashikanta Das, which has been suspended from the party, and cannot choose candidates supported by Congress.
CPM sources say MLA they will be asked to choose a candidate supported by Congress, even though the left party will try to falsify the opposition union to the end.
Secretary General of Raijor Dal Kamal Kumar Medhi said MLA Akhil Gogoi they would choose opposition candidates who would have a high chance of victory.
