The Badruddin Ajmal-led All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) indicated that the party will support the third front or any other coalition without the BJP at the Centre.

“Without any condition, we will support the third front or any other front to form an anti-BJP government,” AIUDF General Secretary, Rafiqul Islam said.

He further said, “Congress will not get more than 50 seats in this election.”

“Congress will have to accommodate forming an anti-BJP government at the Centre. Congress is not in a position to form its own government,” Rafiqul Islam said.

He also predicted that the BJP would not get more than 200 seats.

“The BJP is talking about 400 seats, but it will not become reality. The BJP will get less than 200 seats. BJP is a communal party,” Rafiqul Islam said.

“Badruddin Ajmal is contesting from Dhubri in the third phase. He will win this election for the fourth time with a larger margin of votes compared to the previous election. We fight in three seats and if any opposition party wins in the other 11 seats then we will be happy because we are against the BJP. But Congress is fighting against the AIUDF, not against the BJP. All Congress leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi, are now focusing only on Dhubri to defeat Badruddin Ajmal; they are giving away Guwahati, Barpeta, and Kokrajhar seats to the BJP. In Dhubri, Badruddin Ajmal will win with a margin of 5 lakh votes,” Rafiqul Islam said.

He also criticised Congress for not reaching out to the voters of the majority section of thje hindu belt.

“But Congress is only dealing with 15 percent Muslims. If all Muslims will extend their support to only one party and the majority section will not go with them, then what will they get? Congress should go to the Hindu Belt to address their problems and try to win their hearts. Congress is on the wrong track,” Rafiqul Islam said.

Four Lok Sabha constituencies in Assam – Barpeta, Dhubri, Guwahati, and Kokrajhar – will go to polls in the third phase set to be held on May 7, bringing the curtains down for all 14 parliamentary seats in the State.

Ten seats in Assam had voted in the previous two phases that was held on April 19 and April 26.

This Lok Sabha election in Assam, the BJP is contesting in 11 out of 14 seats, while its ally parties, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), are contesting in two seats (Barpeta and Dhubri) and UPPL in one seat (Kokrajhar), respectively.

In the Lok Sabha elections of 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 7 of the 14 seats in Assam. Both the Congress and the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) claimed three seats each. During the 2019 elections, the BJP increased its seat count to 9, while the Congress maintained its three seats, and the AIUDF won a single seat.
