Nagaon Lok Sabha Bypoll Features Four-Way Contest Including AIUDF, BJP, Congress
The Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election in Assam is scheduled for October 6, following the resignation of Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi, who joined BJP. The contest features AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal, BJP's former IAS officer Debasish Sharma, Congress's Sibamoni Bora, and Trinamool Congress's Abdul Salam. Ajmal, seeking to regain parliamentary presence, emphasizes addressing issues across communities. The election is seen as a key test for opposition unity and political dynamics after BJP's recent assembly victory in Assam.
