Digital Desk, April 22: The Guwahati Municipal Corporation has 60 seats. Aam Aadmi Party is contesting 39 of them. ”We feel we will perform well. Even the (ruling) BJP also said that we will be in the second position,” AAP state coordinator and national council member Bhabesh Chowdhury said.
”People are supporting the AAP wholeheartedly. The party workers received hospitality at a number of houses during campaigning. We have been working for a while to build the party in Assam. After a lot of people joined us, we thought we should contest the GMC elections,” he concluded.
Notably, AAP has opened its account in Assam’s civic bodies by winning two wards in Tinsukia and Lakhimpur recently. Congress is contesting in 54 wards, BJP is contesting in 53 wards and AGP is contesting in remaining 7 wards.
