AIUDF looks forward to supporting a Congress Chief Minister: AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal

Ahead of the crucial second and third phase of assembly polls, All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief and Lok Sabha MP, Badruddin Ajmal reiterated that AIUDF is looking forward to supporting a Congress Chief Minister after 2 May.

AIUDF is a part of Congress-led Grand alliance. Ajmal tweeted, “I am very happy to hear from my friends in upper Assam that the Congress led #Mahajot has swept the first phase. The lowest figure I am hearing from anyone is 30 seats. AIUDF looks forward to supporting a Congress Chief Minister after 2 May”.

In the first phase of polls, where 47 seats went to polls on March 27, Congress contested 43 seats allies and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), CPI (ML), Anchalik Gana Morcha and AIUDF contested one each.


The second and third phase of polls will be held on April 1 and April 6 and counting of ballots will take place on May 2.

The congress led front has not projected any chief ministerial candidate. The AIUDF has earlier stated that its chief, Ajmal, would not be in the race for chief minister ship and the Congress could be the big brother in the alliance.

in the run up to polls the ruling BJP has been attacking the AIUDF and Congress, stating that Ajmal would be the chief minister if the alliance came to power.

Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal stated that Congress and AIUDF are enemy of the state as both the parties are hellbent to bring in infiltrators from across the border.

In a election rally he urged upon the voters to discard these two parties and give their votes to the candidates of the BJP and its allies.
