Guwahati:
With Assam Assembly polls due in three months the main opposition - the Congress - has announced an alliance with three Left parties and, significantly, the Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF (All India United Democratic Front).
The announcement puts to rest speculation the party would distance itself from the AIUDF after many within voiced strong objections. A regional party - the Anchalik Gana Morcha - will also be part of the opposition alliance, it was revealed Tuesday night.
The announcement was made by top Congress leaders, including the party s observers for this election - Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Bhaghel and Mukul Wasnik - and included an appeal to other regional parties to come and be part of Assam s grand opposition alliance.
