SILCHAR: As expected, the BJP formed the Zilla Parishad in Cachar with Kankan Narayan Sikdar as the President and Debojyoti Bawri his deputy. In the 25-seat Cachar Zilla Parishad, BJP had absolute majority with 17 members, the Congress had 7 members, while the remaining seat was won by a Congress-supported independent. On Wednesday, the oath ceremony, convened at the Rajib Bhawan, suddenly got a dramatic twist as the Congress fielded Trayobasi Das and Nur Islam Barbhuiya for the President and Vice-President posts respectively. However, Sikdar and Bawri toppled the barrier with an expected margin of 18-7 each.
Deputy Commissioner Mridul Yadav presided over the oath-taking ceremony which was attended by Minister Kaushik Rai, MLAs Dipayan Chakraborty, Mihir Kanti Shome, Misbahul Islam Laskar, and others.
