Ahead of the Assembly Elections in Assam, All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) MLA Rafiqul Islam on Tuesday emphasised that the party will support an "anti-BJP government", accusing the previous Congress and incumbent BJP-led NDA Government of failing to solve people's issues.
Speaking to ANI, Mr. Islam claimed that there is a pressing issue of "erosion of the people and land problem", stating that AIUDF has a share in an "anti-BJP government", and then they would work to address the problems across several sectors. "We want an anti-BJP government and a government in which we have a share. There is no arrangement of water for irrigation for the farmers. If there is an anti-BJP government here, we will support it. If we can become a part of it, then we will address the people's problems in the education sector, the health sector, and road communication," said the MLA, further asserting that they won't support the BJP in the State, they want the party "out of Assam”.

"Secular parties should win as many seats as possible. If a single anti-BJP government is formed, we will absolutely support it," he added. This comes after Assam is poised to witness a high-stakes electoral battle between the BJP-led NDA government and the Congress for the 126-seat Assembly on April 9.
