March 20, 2026

BJP announces Assam candidates, includes high-profile Congress switchovers

One of the most striking aspects of the list is the accommodation of former Congress leaders who joined the BJP in the run-up to the elections. Notably, senior leader and former MP Pradyut Bordoloi has been nominated from the Dispur constituency. In a similar move, Bhupen Bora has been fielded from Bihpuria, replacing incumbent MLA Amiya Kumar Bhuyan. Bora switched allegiance to the BJP in February, aligning himself with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
