Guwahati: Opposition presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha is likely to make a three-day visit to Assam between July 9 and July 11.
This was informed by Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) President Bhupen Borah.
“Yashwant Sinha would be accompanied by members of our party on his visit to the state. The Congress has already resolved to vote for him.” Borah said.
The Assam Congress has also decided to invite in Raijor Dal chief Akhil Gogoi and CPI-M leader Manoranjan Talukdar to join the campaign for Sinha.
Aside from the APCC, no other state political party has been invited to this campaigning blitz.
The All-India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) which is led by Badruddin Ajmal and has 15 MLAs and one MP for the Lok Sabha, is the second major opposition party in Assam.
Ajmal has already made suggestions that he will be supporting NDA’s Presidential nominee, Draupadi Murmu.
Borah has denied having any no communication with the AIUDF over this.
“Yashwant Sinha can meet with anyone including party leaders. We have not spoken to any other parties and Sinha will decide who he wants to speak with, Borah added.
