Speaking to the media, Bimal Baruah said, "I have been thinking about joining the party for the past one week as several of the members of the Matak Autonomous Council have joined the BJP. Our local MLA also urged me to join the AGP. I could have joined the BJP earlier also but due to the problems of the state I have joined the AGP. I have the blood of nationalism in my throat. So I have published it today."
From today onwards, he will work for nationalism in accordance with the principles of the Asom Gana Parishad party.
