Assam: Independent candidate rises as strong contender in North Salmara Zila Parishad poll battle

As the panchayat election fever grips Assam, campaigning activities have reached a new peak in the Abhayapuri constituency under Bongaigaon district.


With polling set for May 7, candidates are leaving no stone unturned, forming teams and going door-to-door to woo voters.

In this heightened political atmosphere, all eyes are on the North Salmara Zila Parishad seat, where independent candidate Dayal Nath has emerged as a formidable contender.


Nath, contesting for the 6 No. North Salmara Zila Parishad member post, has intensified his campaign across the villages falling under his constituency.

Addressing gatherings, Nath has alleged that the former Zila Parishad member failed to deliver development projects and remained disconnected from the grassroots.


Confident about his prospects, Nath claimed that the public is now ready to back his independent bid, promising change and better local governance.
