Congress Names Sibamoni Bora for Nagaon Lok Sabha Bypoll Amid Multi-Party Contest
The Congress party has nominated former MLA Sibamoni Bora as its candidate for the Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll scheduled for October 6, following the vacancy left by Pradyut Bordoloi. The bypoll features a four-way contest among Congress, BJP's Devashish Sharma, AIUDF, and Trinamool Congress candidates. Congress alleges a tacit understanding between BJP and AIUDF, citing AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal's entry as strategic. The BJP's choice of Sharma, a former election officer, has also drawn criticism from Congress.
