Assam Election: Four Leaders from Tea Community to join AJP

On Thursday, Four leaders from the tea community joined the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP). This development has taken place at a time when the incumbent BJP claimed that all voters in the tea constituencies support the saffron party.

The leaders to join the AASU backed regional party are:

  • Ajay Tanti: Central Executive Member of Assam Tea Tribal Students’ Association (ATTSA)
  • Winston Sona: Vice-President of Sonitpur district Samiti (ATTSA)
  • Praloy Hial: Organisational Secretary of Rangapani unit (All Assam Adivasi Students Union)
  • Prahlad Tanti: ATTSA General Secretary of Sonitpur District

“The BJP was thinking of buying one crore people from the tea tribe community in Assam for only Rs 3,000; this will be the main reason for their defeat this time,” Tanti said.
