Lok Sabha elections: Maulana Badruddin Ajmal sweats it out in Dhubri
Maulana Badruddin Ajmal, seeking re-election to the Lok Sabha seat is sweating it out in Dhubri.
He is up against Congress’s Rakibul Hussain, a prominent leader from Muslim minority community and former minister.
BJP’s ally in state government, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), has fielded Zabed Islam from Dhubri setting up a multi cornered contest in Dhubri.
Ajmal, who is president of All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), has been winning the seat since 2009 and is facing huge anti-incumbency. Both Congress and BJP are attacking the AIUDF. Congress alleges Ajmal’s AIUDF is hand and glove with BJP, and BJP vice versa.
