The BJP won 60 seats in the assembly election
GUWAHATI: The Congress is keeping its doors open for MLAs from the regional allies of the NDA, AGP and UPPL, as also rebels from the BJP, if any, to form a non-BJP government in Assam.
Senior Congressman Debabrata Saikia, who has been the leader of the Opposition in the assembly, said the people of Assam have not given a full mandate to the BJP as it could not touch the majority mark of 64 in the 126-member house. Despite a convincing victory over the Congress-led Mahajot, the selection of the chief ministerial candidate, between incumbent CM Sarbananda Sonowal and BJP’s face in the northeast, Himanta Biswa Sarma, has remained a sore point for the BJP high command.

WASHINGTON â A federal judge has ordered the release of a legal memorandum the Trump-era Justice Department prepared for then-Attorney General William Barr before he announced his conclusion that President Trump had not obstructed justice during the Russia investigation.
The Justice Department had refused to give the March 24, 2019, memorandum to a government transparency group that requested it under the Freedom of Information Act, saying the document represented the private advice of lawyers and was produced before any formal decision had been made and was therefore exempt from disclosure under public records law.
