Authors
Dr. Navajyoti Borah
Abstract
The trends of Electoral Politics of Assam had been similar with the rest of the country after the post independence period. Regional political groups were there in the state but could not contain the national political parties like INC. But a sense of insecurity had gradually grown in the minds of the people who claim to be indigenous, regarding their cultural, linguistic and political identities due to rampant immigration of people from neighboring countries mainly from Bangladesh. It led to a mass agitation under the leadership of All Assam Students Union (AASU) which came to an end with the signing of Assam Accord between Central Government and leaders of the different organizations that took part in the agitation. The accord created a new socio political situation which started changing with the emergence of Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), a regional party in 1985.In this article an effort is being to observe the circumstances that led to the emergence of AGP and its rise and fall as a political force of the state.
Keywords- Regionalism, Assam Accord, AGP, Election, ASSU
