Nagaon Lok Sabha Bypoll Gathers Momentum

The Congress has started its candidate selection process for the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election, inviting applications from party members until August 28. Meanwhile, the AIUDF is reportedly considering fielding party chief Badruddin Ajmal instead of its previously announced candidate, Rezaul Karim Sarkar.

The BJP has described the bypoll as a tough and challenging contest but expressed confidence in retaining the seat. The election is expected to see an intense political battle among the major parties.
