Cracks have begun to show within the Assam unit of the BJP after the announcement of candidates for the April 9 Assembly elections triggered a wave of resentment among denied aspirants and sitting legislators, some of whom are now considering contesting as Independents.
After being denied a party ticket, BJP leader Jayanta Kumar Das launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led Himanta Biswa Sarma government, alleging that nearly 10,000 fake social media accounts are being operated from the party’s state headquarters, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Bhawan, in Guwahati.
