People have accepted AGP-BJP combine, says Sushma

Guwahati, May 8. (PTI): Union Information and Broadcasting Minister and senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj today claimed the people of Assam had accepted the AGP-BJP alliance despite the anti-incumbency factor as they were confident that it would provide a good government.

Swaraj told a press conference here that despite the anti- incumbency factor the "people are not willing to allow the Congress to come to power in the State" realising the alliance would provide a better government than any other combine as it would address the State's problems in a better way.

"The AGP-BJP alliance would be able to stop the division of the anti-Congress votes in Assam," she said.

The perception that the AGP-BJP would be victorious was based on response and enthusiasm of the electorate she had witnessed during her election tour of the State, she added.
