Clashes and Campaigning Intensify Ahead of Nagaon Lok Sabha Bypoll in Assam
Campaigning for the Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll in Assam has seen clashes between BJP and Congress workers, including stone-pelting incidents targeting Congress convoys. Congress leaders, including Gaurav Gogoi and Bhupesh Baghel, accused BJP supporters and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's affiliates of orchestrating violence, which the BJP denied, attributing some clashes to internal Congress disputes. Both parties have named 40-member star-campaigner teams ahead of the October 6 bypoll, which follows the resignation of former Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi who joined BJP.
