Guwahati, November 10: Bihar Chief minister Nitish Kumar, who is spearheading formation of an anti-BJP alliance before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, is likely to visit Assam next month, opposition party leaders said on Thursday.

A senior Congress leader and All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) President Badaruddin Ajmal separately said that Nitish Kumar, the chief of Janata Dal-United, is expected to meet various senior leaders of non-BJP parties in Guwahati. Lok Sabha Elections 2024: BJP Resets Target, To Focus on One Lakh Weak Booths.

"Congress and Trinamool Congress would be part of the anti-BJP alliance led by Nitish Kumar," Ajmal, also a Lok Sabha member, told the media adding that his party would also join the front. Ajmal earlier said that he has no problem if Congress joins the alliance in a bid to defeat the BJP in 2024 polls.

Nitish Kumar last month visited poll-bound Nagaland's main commercial city Dimapur and paid homage to noted freedom fighter and socialist leader Jayaprakash Narayan on his 120th birth anniversary. Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Will Back Party Which Will Support Gorkha Janmukti Morcha’s Call for Political Solution in Darjeeling, Says Bimal Gurung.
