STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI: The president of AIUDF (All India United Democratic Front), Badruddin Ajmal has appealed to all workers of the party to go all out to root out the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) in the Assam Assembly election. Ajmal made this appeal to his party leaders to enthuse them.
However, a section of AIUDF leaders are a worried lot with the party leaving a number of its important constituencies to its alliance parties under their seat-sharing agreement.
In a statement issued to the media on Wednesday, Ajmal said, Since the formation of the AIUDF in 2015, we have been working for the all-round development of the State. Every party in the Mahajoot has shared seats with each other. We ve also got several seats from our allies. I have noticed that many of our leaders are making emotional outbursts for not getting party tickets. I would like to appeal to them to work selflessly and ceaselessly for a bigger goal – removing the BJP from power.
Rohtak (Haryana) [India], March 12 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kailash Vijayvargiya on Thursday stated that the motive of the Congress party is to get "chair" and is not based on any ideology.

Considered among the world’s 500 most influential Muslims, perfume baron Maulana Badruddin Ajmal has been the whipping boy of Assam’s electoral politics ever since he founded the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) in 2005 after the Supreme Court scrapped the Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunal) Act of 1983 that allegedly favoured the so-called Bangladeshis.
