The wait for the BJP candidate for Mujuli by-polls has been clarified.
Assam BJP has nominated Bhuban Gam for the upcoming Majuli by-polls to be held on 7th March.
Last year, after the former ex-Chief Minister of Assam, Sarbananda Sonowal vacated the Majuli seat after being elected to the Rajya Sabha. Later, he was inducted into the Union Cabinet.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Sonowal met in New Delhi earlier this month to finalize their party candidate for the Majuli by-poll.
Meanwhile, Congress has left the Majuli seat for Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) to contest.
On the other hand, Akhil Gogoi, the Raijor Dal president, and Sibsagar MLA had also announced that his party will support the Assam Jaitya Parishad (AJP) in the upcoming by-polls for the Majuli Assembly constituency.
But, AJP is yet to announce its candidate for the prestigious seat.
Even though the by-elections were supposed to be held last year but Sonowal had not resigned till the announcement of the by-elections in five other constituencies, it was pending.
Majuli, the world’s largest river island, got the status of a district when Sonowal became the Chief Minister of Assam.
