AASU, AJYCP to set up political party’s official organizing committee today

The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) and Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuva Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) are going to set up their political party’s official organizing committee today.

Earlier, AASU president Dipanka Kumar Nath said that if everything goes well then the new political party will be floated in next seven days. The AASU and AJYCP formed an 18-member ‘Assam Advisory Committee’ to suggest on their political moves.

Sources claimed that the political party to be launched by the AASU and AJYCP is likely to contest 80-100 seats in the assembly elections in Assam due early next year. Though the AASU and AJYCP will not forge any pre-poll alliance with the Congress or be part of its proposed ”Grand Alliance”, it is open for an understanding with the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS).

The election to the 126-member Assam assembly is likely to be held in March-April next year. The 2016 elections gave a fractured mandate and no party has an absolute majority in the current House.
