NAGAON, April 25: AIUDF candidate for Nagaon Lok Sabha constituency and Dhing MLA, Aminul Islam on Thursday filed a complaint against Congress candidate Pradyut Bordoloi at the Nagaon Police Station.
The FIR was filed in connection with a recent statement made by Bordoloi in which he allegedly claimed that the AIUDF chief Badaruddin Ajmal had used a helicopter hired by the BJP party in election campaigns, sources added.
Meanwhile, the ruling BJP alliance candidate Suresh Bora and Congress candidate Pradyut Bordoloi addressed two separate press conferences at its respective district offices on Wednesday here. Both candidates levelled allegations at each other.
While addressing the press conference, BJP candidate Suresh Bora said the opposition is conspiring against the ruling alliance. Some Congressmen are trying to achieve political mileage by destroying the good relations with the people.
“They are even creating a communal atmosphere among the people overnight,” he said adding that there is a full possibility of a propaganda campaign to win the votes of a particular ethnic group. He said he had already filed a written complaint with the Election Commission in this regard.
Similarly, while addressing a press conference at Nagaon Rajiv Bhavan this afternoon, Pradyut Bordoloi, the common candidate of the Congress-led Opposition Oikya Manch also alleged that the Nagaon police had arrested Laogaon Mandal Congress president Mojibur Rahman on false charges of employing a child labour in a brick kiln owned by him.
In fact, a female worker in the brick kiln brought her child along with her due to lacking of alternative arrangements to look after the child, Bordoloi said, adding that the police claimed him as a child labourer. Thus, Rahman was unjustly arrested by the Nagaon police, charging with lifetime imprisonment.
Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to prevent the spread of the disease, Bordoloi said, adding that he had already filed a complaint with the Election Commission in this regard and sought immediate removal of the superintendents of police of Nagaon and Morigaon districts
