Former Assam bureaucrat Sharma and two journalists have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party days before the Nagaon bypoll. Their move has sparked speculation about Sharma being considered for the party's ticket.
Sharma, who previously served as a bureaucrat in Assam, announced his membership in the Bharatiya Janata Party along with two journalists. The announcements came just days before the upcoming bypoll in Nagaon, a key assembly constituency in the state.
The timing of their entry has drawn attention as political parties finalise their candidates for the Nagaon bypoll. Party observers say Sharma’s background in administration could make him a strong contender for the BJP ticket.
While the identities of the two journalists have not been disclosed, their decision to join the party alongside Sharma indicates a coordinated move. No official statements have been made regarding the specific roles they might play in the campaign.
Speculation is growing about whether Sharma will be fielded as the BJP candidate in Nagaon. The party has not yet confirmed its nominee, and the development adds to the intense preparations underway for the bypoll.
