Guwahati:
Assam MLA Shiladitya Dev, who gave his resignation to the BJP earlier this week after he was denied a ticket to contest the assembly election, has returned to the party fold as the BJP said he will continue to remain in the party as an important member .
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.
