Guwahati: Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) leader and legislator Ramendra Narayan Kalita has claimed that at least 2-3 MLAs from the Congress party will soon be joining the AGP.
Kalita, who represents the West Guwahati Assembly constituency, said that the Congress party is now “withered in the bud” and is no longer a factor for the AGP.
