Another prominent Congress leader, former Assam minister and sitting MP from Nagaon seat, Pradyut Bordoloi has been nominated to contest from the same constituency.

Out of the 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam, the Congress announced candidates for 12 seats. It has offered one seat to alliance partner Assam Jatiya Parishad, while no decision has been taken yet on the remaining constituency. This will be the first election in Assam after the Election Commission of India carried out the delimitation exercise only for Assam last year that was strongly criticised by the opposition parties alleging that it was done to help the ruling BJP only.

The party had on Friday released the first list of 39 candidates across eight states and one Union Territory for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Former party president Rahul Gandhi was fielded from Kerala’s Wayanad for the second time, while party general secretary KC Venugopal was fielded from the state’s Alappuzha.
