Dynastic Politics Dominate Assam By-Elections Debate

Dynastic politics is at the forefront of Assam's by-elections, with both the ruling alliance and opposition fielding candidates from political families. The BJP and Congress accuse each other of fostering political dynasties, as voters prepare for the upcoming polls in several assembly segments.

The ongoing by-elections in Assam have become a battleground for discussions on dynastic politics, as both the ruling and opposition parties field candidates with political family ties.

Among the most discussed names are Diptimayee Choudhury, wife of Barpeta MP Phani Bhusan Choudhury, and Tanzil Hussain, son of Dhubri MP Rakibul Hussain. Both aim to secure assembly seats, representing the AGP and Congress, respectively.

The BJP's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has criticized Congress's approach, attributing a lack of fresh political talent to its dynastic tendencies, while Congress counters with allegations of the same within the BJP ranks, highlighting the deep roots of political lineage on both sides.
