Parties not in a haste for Kokrajhar candidate

KOKRAJHAR, Feb 13: As the parliamentary election is coming near, the Congress, AGP, AUDF, BJP and CPI-CPM, etc are seen hasty for selection of candidates and seat-sharing among the like-minded parties. But in case of Kokrajhar seat no party other than Hagrama Mohilary-led BPF is yet to announce its candidates.

One of the major forces of Bodoland - BPPF is also yet to announce its candidate. Sources from the party said the final decision has not arrived between the AGP and BPPF for Kokrajhar seat causing delay in announcement. On the other hand, the BPF has already declared sitting MP S K Bwisumuthiary as their candidate.

Speaking to The Sentinel, the organizing secretary of AASAA Bosco Charmaco said that the student body will play a vital role in the forthcoming election but things have not been finalized as yet. He said that discussion was going on regarding the fielding or “sharing” with other parties but the clear picture will come only after February 15 next.

Meanwhile, the AAKRSU also are yet to decide their stand on parliamentary election. Though informal reports of AAKRSU revealed to go against the BPF candidate S K Bwismuthiary yet it seems to delay to anounce it’s decision.
