Itanagar: In a bid to secure a seat in the upcoming assembly elections, BJP candidate Pani Taram has formally filed his nomination papers for the 21st Koloriang assembly constituency.
The constituency, which is located in Kurung Kumey district and borders China, saw Taram filing his nomination papers at the DC office KKoloriang, Kurung Kumey district in the presence of CEO IAS Vishakha Yadav.
Taram’s candidature comes amid internal party dynamics, notably the denial of a party ticket to sitting BJP MLA Lokam Tassar from Koloriang.
Tassar has decided not to fight under the banner of any party in the upcoming elections while observing the party discipline.
Meanwhile, the People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA) has made significant moves in the electoral landscape, with its President, Kahfa Bengia, re-entering the fray. Bengia, a former minister who previously represented the Koloriang assembly constituency over two decades ago, is now vying for the seat once again, this time under the PPA banner.
The political landscape in the region is thus set for a dynamic contest, with Taram representing the BJP, Bengia spearheading the PPA’s efforts, and Tassar stepping aside in adherence to party directives. As the electoral campaign gains momentum, all eyes are on the 21st Koloriang Assembly Constituency, where these contenders will vie for the electorate’s mandate.
