The Story in Brief
The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has named Rejaul Karim Sarkar as its candidate for the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election and ruled out any alliance with the Congress. AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal accused the Congress of destroying Assam and the country, calling it the BJP's 'B-team'.
The Nagaon seat fell vacant after Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi resigned and joined the BJP. Assam Opposition leader Wazed Ali Choudhury said the Congress had sought AIUDF support but alleged the party acted under pressure. Choudhury expressed confidence Congress would retain the seat despite AIUDF contesting.
The Indian Opinion
The AIUDF-Congress blame game exposes how much the anti-BJP opposition in Assam has fragmented. Ajmal calls Congress the BJP's B-team, while Congress accuses AIUDF of acting under pressure. Both claim the other is sabotaging unity. Voters in Nagaon will judge: the bypoll result will show whether the Opposition's internal fights help the BJP or force a rethink.
