Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Ripun Bora on Wednesday thrashed Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) after the regional party joined hands with BJP for the coming Lok Sabha elections.

Slamming the party Bora said, "AGP leaders' resignation from the Assam government in opposition to the much debated Citizenship Amendment Bill was nothing but a political drama."

"We have already expressed that AGP will be allying with the saffron party for the general elections," said Bora adding, "AGP is not with the people of the State, and rather it is an anti-Assamese party." Bora also took a jibe at the regional party for its alliance with BJP even though the latter had clearly voiced for another Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, if voted to power.

On the other hand, APCC president Bora also informed that the list of the candidates of Congress for the first and second phase oh election will be announced within March 15.
