New Delhi, April 12: BJP today claimed it foresaw the possibility of a non-Congress government coming to power in Assam assembly elections and said it is in talks with AGP to explore the possibilities of forming the next dispensation.
“There is a strong anti-Congress mood in Assam. The party is in for a shock,” senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley told PTI, adding Congress will not be able to form the next government.
The Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha is election in-charge of BJP for Assam and West Bengal. He campaigned extensively in Assam for his party last week.
“BJP and AGP will gain in the state and this will be at the cost of the Congress,” he claimed.
Jaitley said BJP had opened channels of communication with AGP and got positive signals from it.
