Guwahati: The All India United Democratic Front or AIUDF, which is part of the Congress-led `Mahajoth` (alliance) in Assam, will support a "Congress Chief Minister", its chief Badruddin Ajmal has said.
The remarks hold significance, putting speculation to rest amid attacks by the BJP.
"I am very happy to hear from my friends in upper Assam that the Congress-led #Mahajoth has swept the first phase.
The lowest figure I am hearing from anyone is 30 seats.
AIUDF looks forward to supporting a Congress Chief Minister after 2 May," Badruddin Ajmal tweeted on Sunday, a day after the first phase of state elections concluded.
The second and third phase will be held on April 1 and 6; results will be out on May 2.
Voting was held for 47 seats on Saturday.
As the Congress, key contender in the state elections, hasn`t announced a chief ministerial candidate yet, Badruddin Ajmal`s declaration puts speculation to rest after the BJP said he will be the chief minister if the alliance is elected to power.
