Dumping AGP, new political party

Dumping AGP Assam is gearing up for a new regional party asa preparatory convention is organized on May 19 (Sunday) at Guwahati. Thisinitiative is led by Lachit Bardoloi, Anup Chetia, Arup Borobora, Kamal NayanChoudhury.

The AGP has failed and  it is time to have a new party, said Dr Nagen Saikia last night while participating in a program at Pratidin Time.

Already the convention has been organised and there arequite a bit of positive buzz as all thinks that AGP is in the faith path ofhistory and that space should be occupied by the new regional; p[arty.

"Good news is that except me and Nekibur Zaman, allothers who have come forward are from non political background as all realizethat there is  urgent need for a regional;party encompassing the tribals and Muslims of Assam" said Mr. Bardoloi.

However all are not so optimistic. "Although we wishthe new arty but it will not be easy as the AGP will continue to take lot ofspace and with dozen MLAs and three ministers they are not going wayeasily" said  Mr. Brojen Deka, acolumnist.

But Mr. Bardoloi as well and Dr Nagen Saikia are optimistic thatnew party with good people from AGP can flourish and hope of the regionalparties can be reflected.

Now all eyes are on Sunday preparatory committee which willthen take a few more months for a full scale convention for launching theparty.
