With 'Gau-Mata’ blessings, Pradip Kumar Sarkar files nomination in Assam's Abhayapuri

On the final day of the nomination filing process, Congress candidate Pradip Kumar Sarkar from the 16-Abhayapuri Assembly constituency set out for Bongaigaon to file his nomination papers after offering prayers to “Gau-Mata” (mother cow) at his residence.

He was accompanied by thousands of supporters in a grand procession, including a group of sadhus and saints, as he headed towards the Bongaigaon District Commissioner’s office.

With the filing of his nomination, Sarkar is set to take on BJP candidate Bhupen Roy in what is expected to be a closely watched contest in the Abhayapuri constituency.

The development marks a crucial step as the nomination process concludes and election campaigning intensifies across Assam.
