Why Alliance With Maulana Badruddin Ajmal's AIUDF May Cost The Congress Dear In Assam Elections 2021

The alliance struck by the Congress in Assam with the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) is hurting the former badly. A beleaguered Congress struck an alliance with the Islamist AIUDF — a party floated by ittar king Maulana Badruddin Ajmal with the primary purpose of protecting the interests of Bangladeshi-origin Muslims in Assam — to stave off its imminent electoral decimation in the state. The Congress felt that the division of Muslim votes — Muslims form 35 per cent of the state’s electorate — between the Congress and the AIUDF has been benefiting Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) indirectly. Hence the alliance to consolidate the Muslim vote bank. But what the Congress overlooked is the widespread perception among the rest of the state’s electorate, including the indigenous Assamese-speaking Muslims, about the AIUDF being an Islamist party and its founder, Ajmal, being a communal and divisive figure. #AssamElections #BadruddinAjmal #Congress Subscribe to Swarajya on YouTube.
