Interesting move, contesting for MLA after getting elected to Rajya Sabha. Shows he wants to be directly involved in state politics. The candidate list seems balanced, representing different constituencies within the Bodoland area. Wishing all candidates the best!

As a voter from Assam, my main concern is peace and development. The last few years have been better in the BTR. I hope whichever party wins, they deliver on their promises and don't just make empty claims during elections.

Reading about the election schedule is helpful. May 4th for results! It's going to be a busy April for election coverage. I appreciate that the article listed all the candidates clearly.

With respect, I have to say the article is very factual but lacks analysis. What does this mean for the NDA alliance in Assam? Is there any opposition from other parties in these seats? Would have liked more context.

Hope the elections are conducted peacefully. Assam has come a long way. It's good to see regional parties like UPPL being part of the democratic process. The focus should remain on issues like education, healthcare, and connectivity for all communities.
