Guwahati, Jan 29 : The Assam’s main Opposition party Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) will meet the BJP central leadership in New Delhi on late Wednesday night to finalize the seat sharing arrangement for the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls in Assam.

A senior AGP leader on Wednesday said that although both the parties have decided to give a tough fight to Congress in the forthcoming polls, the seat sharing arrangements between the parties are yet to be finalized. The AGP-BJP alliance would contest in all the 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam in the forthcoming polls.

AGP sources informed that while the BJP is likely to field its candidate in Nagaon, Mangaldoi, Jorhat, Dhubri and Diphu Lok Sabha constituencies, the AGP is likely to contest in Barpeta, Kokrajhar, Dibrugarh, Lakhimpur and Kaliabor parliamentary constituencies in the polls. However, the tonight’s meeting is likely to discuss over the prestigious Guwahati Lok Sabha seat. The arrangements between both the parties are hanging due to the Guwahati seat.

The AGP wants the BJP to vacate the prestigious seat on the ground that the party has four sitting MLAs in legislative assemblies under the Guwahati Lok Sabha seat.

The BJP, on the other hand wants to field their candidate in the Guwahati LS seat on the ground that the party won the seat in 1999 when there are ten AGP sitting MLAs in legislative assembly constituencies under the Guwahati Lok Sabha seat.

“An AGP delegation under the leadership of party president Chandra Mohan Patowari had already gone to the union capital to meet the BJP leadership and we hope the meeting would hammer out a decision on the Guwahati seat,” said a senior leader.
