Guwahati: A regional political outfit of the Sonowal-Kachari community on Sunday joined the United Opposition Forum,
Assam (UOFA), a coalition of various parties in the state.
The Sonowal Kachari Gana Mancha formally joined the UOFA in the presence of the forum’s president and Congress’ state unit chief Bhupen Kumar Borah and MLA Akhil Gogoi in Dibrugarh.
Borah, in a post on X, said leaders of the Sonowal Kachari Gana Mancha, a regional political party, that has fought the election to the Sonowal Kachari Autonomous Council earlier, held a meeting with him and Gogoi, who heads the Raijor Dal.
“A team led by Mancha general secretary Shri Gopal Sonowal discussed the political situation in five Lok Sabha constituencies — Sonitpur, Lakhimpur, Dibrugarh, Jorhat and Kaziranga — and promised their support,” Borah wrote.
The UOFA was formed last year to fight the elections unitedly against the BJP-led coalition in the state. However, the members have now pitted candidates against each other in several seats. PTI
