Congress Claims BJP Sought AIUDF Help Ahead of Nagaon Bypoll

Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi has levelled fresh accusations against the BJP, alleging the party sought help from AIUDF supremo Badruddin Ajmal ahead of the Nagaon Assembly bypoll in Assam. According to Gogoi, the move reflected panic within BJP ranks regarding their prospects in the constituency.

Gogoi's comments come as the political contest in Nagaon intensifies with multiple parties vying for the seat. The Congress leader downplayed concerns about AIUDF's entry into the fray, asserting that his party remains focused on countering the BJP, which it views as the primary challenger in the bypoll.

The Nagaon bypoll has emerged as a significant political battleground in Assam, with the Congress looking to consolidate support among its traditional voter base. Gogoi's statement underscores the Congress strategy of positioning the BJP as the main threat while managing multi-cornered competition in the constituency.

The BJP has not yet responded to the Congress allegation. With campaigning in full swing, the bypoll is expected to serve as a barometer of political sentiment in the region ahead of broader state elections.
