In a major boost to the Bharatiya Janata Party before the Panchayat polls, senior Asom Gana Parishad leader Aminul Islam on Friday joined the saffron party. In a function held in Mankachar, the former cabinet minister and two times MLA joined the BJP in presence of the party state president Ranjeet Kumar Dass.
At a time when rumours are doing the rounds that both AGP and BJP would go it alone in the ensuing Panchayat polls, this development exemplifies that leaders of political parties have already started changing sides.
