Assam: Bajali MP candidate Phani Bhusan Choudhury questions rival's identity and allegiances

Bajali MP candidatePhani Bhusan Choudhury questioned the identity and allegiances of his opponent, Dulu Ahmed. Chaudhary raised doubts about Ahmed's origins, asking, "Whether Dulu Ahmed is a Madrasi?"

Chaudhary further took aim at Manoranjan Talukdar, suggesting that if Talukdar claimed the BJP's shield was the AGP, then he would assert that the Congress was using the CPIM as a shield. Talukdar was not spared from criticism either, with Choudhury labeling him as weak and lacking support.

Amidst the verbal sparring, Choudhary also cast doubt on the validity of Talukdar's electoral performance, questioning whether Talukdar received the same number of votes as in the previous election in the Sorbhog constituency.

Choudhary targeted Ahmed's linguistic abilities, questioning whether he possessed the proficiency to speak in Parliament. He also took a swipe at the opposition, alleging a lack of unity among them. "The opposition itself has shown if they have unity among themselves or not", quoted Choudhary.

Responding to claims by Talukdar that the AGP had been decimated, Choudhary argued that the large turnout at election rallies suggested otherwise, implying that people would not have attended if the AGP truly had collapsed.

Choudhary's scrutiny extended to the population attending Talukdar's meetings, suggesting that it indicated the likely outcome of the elections. He also emphasized that there was no alliance in the Barpeta Lok Sabha constituency, further highlighting the fractured political landscape.

He furthers saying, “the symbol of Elephant and Lotus is the same, voting for either is the same. Where there is no Lotus vote on elephant's symbol”.
