RJD candidate from Tinsukia seat Hira Devi
PATNA: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has decided to highlight unnecessary harassment of Hindi-speaking people during the process of updating of National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam during its campaign for the ongoing assembly election.
Ill effects of the Citizenship Amendment Act-2019 (CAA) and the recent unprecedented rise in the prices of petroleum products especially diesel and cooking gas will also be highlighted in the poll campaign.
Lalu Prasad-led party is contesting the Hindi-Bhashi dominated Tinsukia seat in the first phase as part of seat-sharing among the eight allies of the Congress-led Grand Alliance and also hoping to get one more seat-Gauhati West- in the third phase. Assam goes to the polls in three phases on March 27, April 1 and 6.
