KMSS seeks response on united regional force by Sept 20
GUWAHATI | SEPT 15, 2020:
Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), a frontline peasant organisation of Assam, has asserted that it would go ahead with its plan to float a party of its own if the All Assam Students Union (AASU) and Asam Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) failed to respond to its sustained call for a united regional front by September 20.
The AASU and AJYCP have been mum on earlier proposals by KMSS and its adviser, Akhil Gogoi, to have a united regional force to take on the ruling party and the Opposition in next year's Assembly elections.
Addressing media persons here on Tuesday, KMSS president Vasco de Saikia, however, said that the peasant organisation was hopeful that the AASU, AJYCP and the conveners' committee of the newly formed Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) would respond favourably to its call of a united regional force under one party, flag and emblem.
"Groups that have been against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) must unite under one banner because the formation of separate regional parties will ultimately weaken the regional force and instead benefit the ruling BJP in the upcoming polls," Saikia said.
