Guwahati, Oct 26: To discuss strategies for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the twelve opposition parties in Assam will hold a crucial meeting in Guwahati on Thursday.

The meeting will be organised under the banner of the United Opposition Forum; this group is part of the INDIA bloc, which was formed to challenge the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Parliament elections.

The United Opposition forum is currently led by the Congress party, and other parties seeking to fight together in the upcoming elections include the Trinamool Congress party, Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), Jatiya Dal Assam, and Raijor Dal (RD), along with three left parties –Communist Party of India (CPI), Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, and other national parties like Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and LDP.

According to sources, the meeting will include deliberations on a “concrete decision” regarding the list of candidates and other steps for the 2024 polls.

The committee may take up “concrete decision” on the list of candidates it will field for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

“The opposition meeting is important because tomorrow we will unite ourselves and check our unity strength to know if we will be able to defeat BJP or not. The 12 opposition parties will have to unite and defeat the BJP anyhow. We will try to sit down to come up with a concrete decision for the list of candidates we will place and also make a proposal to make a common minimum program of the opposition alliance partners,” said Akhil Gogoi, president of Raijor Dal.

The National Spokesperson of the Trinamool Congress and Assam unit chief, Ripun Bora, said his party’s role as one of the alliance partners is “making better understanding among all the constituents so there should not be any misunderstanding among the alliance partners.”

“Our role as one of the alliance partners basically makes for better understanding among all the constituents; there should not be any misunderstanding among the alliance partners,” Bora asserted.
