Assam Assembly polls: Asom Sonmilito Morcha (grand alliance) of opposition parties remains a non-starter

The Communist Party of India (CPI) will contest seven Assembly seats independently in Assam, as the Asom Sonmilito Morcha remains stalled. The party cited a lack of response from Congress on seat-sharing discussions. This comes as other Morcha constituents have set a deadline for Congress, which aims to surpass its 2011 victory.
