Tough battle likely for Dhubri constituency

Dhubri Lok Sabha Election
CORRESPONDENT
GAURIPUR, April 20 – Though the number of independent candidates in 4 Dhubri HPC in six, there seem to be out of picture as their campaign is yet to cover the ten LACs comprising 4 Dhubri HPC.

They are yet to touch many remote places of the constituency dominated by religious minority. The Congress and the AUDF are ahead in the campaign as the stalwarts of both the parties have covered every nook and corner of the entire constituency.

Observers feel that this time there is every possibility of direct fight between Congress and AUDF. From the present scene of the nature of electioneering AUDF seems to have taken upper hand by foraying into areas of minority people.

Majority of the voters of AGP-BJP combine are said to be frustrated over rejection of their candidate Nilimay Prodhani and they feel that the combined candidate Nilimay Prodhani betrayed the electors and made secret dealings with the ruling party and as such they are said to be not in a mood to accept Arun Das of Rastrabadi Sena who is an alien to the electors.

Soleman Ali, Sahjahan Ali, Saleman Khandakar, TriptiKana Majumdar Choudhury, Noor Muhammad and Minhar Ali Mandal as independent candidates can only dominate in some areas of their own locality and they would not be able to cover the entire area of the constituency in such a little time.

Alok Sen of Samajwadi party has little impact upon the electors as the party lacks grassroot confidence due to insufficient field-level workers. So, the observers think that Sen would not be able to stand in the fight.

The 4 Dhubri HPC is dominated mostly by religious minority voters and their number is more than nine lakh. These electors would surely decide the fate of the contesting candidates. It will not be a matter of surprise if the voters belonging to majority communities abstain from voting as they feel that the contesting candidates are not at all fit to represent them.

Stalwarts of the ruling Congress party are campaigning for Anowar Hussain, the sitting MP but many of his party workers are said to be against him. Considering all these factors observers opine that this time the ruling party would surely find it difficult to face Badaruddin Ajmal of AUDF. ASSAM TRIBUNE
