SILCHAR: Virtually in a show of strength, the BJP candidates for the upcoming Panchayat election submitted their nominations as Minister Kaushik Rai, MP Parimal Shuklabaidya, MLAs Dipayan Chakrabarty and Nihar Ranjan Das, and District President Rupam Saha led the procession from the party office to the Deputy Commissioner Office complex. Rai said that the BJP-AGP alliance would field candidates in 25 Zila Parishad and 162 Anchalik Parishad seats in Cachar. “Only the ruling coalition parties could field candidates in all the seats throughout the state whereas no opposition party could even find suitable candidates for all the seats,” Rai claimed. Maintaining that the people of Assam were extremely happy as well as optimistic with the excellent and dedicated performance of both the union and state governments, Rai said that he was cent percent confident that in the Panchayat election too, the BJP and its allies would form the Zila Parishads with absolute majority.
Referring to the recent incidents in Sribhumi and Hailakandi where there were open fights in the Congress offices, Rai said that it was very unfortunate to see that in a 130-year-old party, the District President was dragged out from the party office by his own cadres and heckled. “Today, I read in the newspaper that in Hailakandi, the Congress workers manhandled their District President in the open street accusing him of corrupt practices in the nomination process”, Rai quipped. He said that in BJP, there would be no resentment among the aspirants who failed to make it to the candidates list, because nobody joins BJP for personal gain, but for serving the nation.
Suklabaidya too expressed confidence that the ruling alliance would definitely form all the Zila Parishads in the state.
