From some of the newspaper reports I read, the AGP's poor showing had several reasons.
It seems they were aligning with the AUDF (perceived by many as supporting illegal B'deshi) on one hand, while on the other suspected of secretly aligning with the BJP.
Further, Prafulla Mahanta's breakaway from the party affected both the pro & anti Mahanta factions.

Kou (anyone) Nrip (King) Hamou (I) Ka (what) Hani (loss) - meaning whoever be King what do I lose.However, hopefully ULFA and other militants would not take up the gun again - to drive out business and talent from the state. On the other hand, the govt take up aggressive measures - like neighboring W Bengal - in roping businesses . TATA is setting up plant of a $2,000 car in W Bengal http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=126965One of the reasons - TATA did not choose Assam could be peace another could be pathy by state govt in wooing the business.Returned home to see all the 'elekshun' results.
So, what is new?
Now that Congress will be returned to power in , what is expected to
change in Assam's desi-demokrasy?
