GUWAHATI, Nov 11 – After losing South Salmara constituency, the Assam United Democratic Front (AUDF) today said that it would start preparing for the 2011 Assembly polls from now on. In a release here, AUDF general secretary Hafiz Basir Ahmed Qasimi alleged that the ruling Congress murdered democracy in South Salmara by indulging in large scale rigging and intimidation. He alleged that even Bangladeshi nationals were engaged by the ruling party to rig the polls and in some booths of the constituency, more than 90 percent polling was reported, which is highly suspicious.
Qasimi said that the party did not lose the seat because party president Badruddin Ajmal's son was fielded as the candidate. He said that the AUDF did not indulge in family centric politics as alleged by certain sections and pointed out that the Congress has always been indulging in family centric politics.
