Guwahati, Jan 8 (UNI) A day after Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) pulled out of the BJP-led coalition government in Assam, BJP Assam unit president Ranjeet Kumar Dass today said that AGP’s move will not affect BJP’s poll fortunes.
Addressing a press conference at state party headquarter here, Dass said, “The exit of AGP from the alliance will not affect BJP in any way. We were sure of winning 11 seats in the Lok Sabha elections in the state when AGP was with us and we are still sure of winning as many.”
He added that the BJP had won seven out of 14 Lok Sabha seats in last General Elections in the state when it was alone, but this time, BJP has allies in Rabha, Tiwa and Ganashakti parties.
