GUWAHATI: As many as 267 candidates are expected to contest in the first phase of the upcoming Assam Assembly Election slated on March 27.
According to sources out of a total of 297 candidates who have filed their nomination papers for the ensuing elections, 18 candidates have withdrawn their candidature while the nominations of around 10 candidates have been rejected.
Among the key faces who will be contesting the polls in the first phase includes- Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal who will be contesting the Assembly elections for a second term from the Majuli seat. He had won from this seat in the 2016 Assembly elections.
Prithiraj Rava submitted his nomination earlier this week.
GUWAHATI: Asom Gana Parishad has taken a leap of faith by fielding Prithiraj Rava instead of Brindaban Goswami from Tezpur. Rava is the son of cultural icon and communist revolutionary Bishnu Prasad Rava, and AGP hopes that he will do well at the hustings riding on the aura of his late father.
Bishnu Rava had spent many years underground as a leader of Revolutionary Communist Party of India before joining Communist Party of India in 1950s. In 1967, he contested the assembly elections as an Independent and won. He was a lifelong socialist.
