The announcement came after top AGP leadership had an hour-long discussion with BJP’s central leadership. It may be recalled, the AGP which pulled out from the NDA alliance over Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, has formed a seven-member panel to chalk-out the party strategy and to recommend as to with whom the regional party should go in the coming Lok Sabha polls.

BJP general secretary Ram Madhav finally cemented ties between the AGP and the BJP. Assam will go for the Lok Sabha elections in three phases on April 11th, 18th and 23rd, 2019. The results of the election will be announced on May 23rd, 2019.
