DIBRUGHAR February 9, 2024:In a significant development ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) leader Lurinjyoti Gogoi is set to be the candidate from Dibrugarh constituency under the INDIA alliance banner. This revelation, confirmed by reliable sources to NETV, marks the first major disclosure regarding the candidates the INDIA bloc plans to field in Assam.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had previously announced its candidate for the Dibrugarh seat, naming Manoj Dhanowar. The AAP unveiled its list of candidates for three crucial Lok Sabha seats in the state on February 8. However, this move has triggered a wave of discontent among regional parties, with Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi expressing vocal opposition.
Akhil Gogoi, a prominent figure in regional politics, expressed his dismay over the unilateral decision made by the AAP. He characterized it as a breach of trust and a departure from the spirit of alliance politics. Gogoi criticized the AAP for not engaging in prior discussions with the regional parties, emphasizing the importance of collaborative decision-making in the alliance.
The clash of candidate announcements has sparked tensions within the political landscape of Assam, with both AJP and AAP vying for the Dibrugarh constituency. As the electoral battle intensifies, questions arise about the potential impact on the alliance dynamics and the overall political scenario in the state.
Lurinjyoti Gogoi’s entry into the race adds an interesting dimension to the electoral contest in Dibrugarh. As a key leader of the AJP, his nomination is expected to garner significant attention and support from the regional electorate.
The upcoming days are likely to witness heightened political discussions and negotiations between the concerned parties, as they navigate the complexities of alliance politics and attempt to find common ground. The unfolding scenario in Dibrugarh will undoubtedly be closely watched as the Lok Sabha elections draw nearer.
