The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) have been criticizing Raijor Dal and newly-formed Asom Jatiyo Parishad (AJP) since their formation.

AGP president and minister Atul Bora said that the two political parties can’t cause losses to the AGP. “They can’t cause losses to us. We will be benefited whether they fight together or separately,” Bora said.

“Congress will keep trying to bring them with us till the last minute. Our doors are open for the last moment. Because it is the need of the hour,” Bora said at Silchar on Sunday.
