Riding on that possibility, several aspirants have stepped forward, Singh included.
Expressing confidence, Rajbir Singh said he is hopeful of receiving the party ticket, noting that he represents the Assamese Sikh community and is entering active electoral politics for the first time. He added that he believes the party’s top leadership, including the Chief Minister, will not overlook his claim.
Singh maintained that he is fully optimistic about securing candidature from either of the two constituencies. On Thursday, he formally submitted his application to Hojai district BJP president Dilip Dhar, marking his official entry into the ticket race.
As internal competition sharpens, Hojai and Lumding are emerging as constituencies to watch, with multiple hopefuls vying for the ruling party’s nod.
