TNI Bureau: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has rectified the list of Assam Lok Sabha constituencies following a goof-up.
The saffron party made the necessary changes in the list after Senior Journalist Atanu Bhuyan pointed out the mistakes it made in the first list of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections yesterday.
BJP had mentioned Karimganj under Scheduled Caste (SC); instead, it is Silchar that has gained this status. Likewise, it had listed Mangaldai as a constituency, but it has been now replaced as the Darrang-Udalguri constituency.
Similarly, it had listed Tezpur, which has been renamed as Sonitpur LS constituency, while Kaliabor is no longer a constituency, but has become Kaziranga now.
Interesting: BJP made a blunder with their election listing.
BJP doesn’t even know Assam underwent delimitation. Karimganj isn’t SC reserved, but Silchar is reserved now.
Mangaldai doesn’t exist as a constituency but is Darrang-Udalguri now.
