Its a big big day for regional politics in Assam. Despite stiff resistance the main Opposition Asom Gana Parishad on Tuesday announced its unification of regional forces with former Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, Pulakesh Baruah, Atul Bora, Pabindra Deka et al. The epoch-making moment came up when the regional party was holding its function to mark its foundation day in Golaghat where the party was born in 1985.
AGP president Chandra Mohan Patowary announced unification of AGP(P) led by Mahanta, Trinamool Gana Parishad led under the leadership of Pulakesh Baruah and Atul Bora. All they shaked their hands with smiling faces mending all differences in the crowded function.
On the other hand, the All Assam Students Union leaders and activists across the state observed Betrayal Day opposing the home coming of Mahanta. The state's powerful student body has been protesting the entry of Mahanta terming him the betrayer besides being the man behind the infamous secret killings.
There are reports that AASU leaders and workers across the states blocked roads, staged dharna on Tuesday in protest against Mahanta's home coming. In several places, police had to disperse the AASU picketers for blocking the national highways.
But the united AGP leaders are confident the AASU would reconsider the decision. On Monday, AGP and its breakaway group AGP(P) leadership hoped that the AASU will leave the matter right now for an united AGP atleast to defeat Congress.

It is a fatal mistake for the party to once again welcome the betrayal leader. Once he was lost with dreams and fancies of his own but now he comes back to bring chaos in the party.The ultimate decision could be made by the people of Assam whether he will dynamic leader or betrayal.
