The state president of the party was in Behali to interact simultaneously about the administrative and regional issues, during the meeting being held in Behali, and the upcoming local elections in the Behali Assembly constituency. Meanwhile, the state president attended the meeting and urged the party members to prepare for the voting in the by-polls.
The Behali Constituency of the Assam Legislative Assembly will soon have to go through by-polls as the member of the legislative assembly from this constituency, Ranjit Dutta had contested in the recently conducted General Elections of the state from the Tezpur constituency and won the same. Since he was elected as the Member of Parliament, he had to resign as the Member of the Legislative Assembly, thus leaving the Behali Constituency without representation in the Assam Legislative Assembly.
