Assam Assembly Polls: BJP State Chief May Leave His Own Seat for a Safer Bet
Word has it that BJP's Ranjit Dass may contest from Patacharkuchi this time around, leaving behind his traditionally held Sarbhog assembly segment, anticipating electoral headwinds in the ensuing elections.

Sarbhog (Assam): On December 16 last year, Pabindra Deka, the MLA from Patacharkuchi, joined the newly floated regional outfit Asom Jatiya Parishad (AJP) after resigning from the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP). Deka was a founding member of AGP, which is currently part of the ruling alliance in Assam. With assembly elections due in two months, such departures are otherwise quite natural.
