The Raijor Dal president who had been in jail since December 2019, is currently admitted to the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital in Guwahati.

He had initially filed his nomination for the Mariani state assembly seat, which he later withdrew with a view to defeat the BJP in the ensuing elections.

“A candidate is estimated to require about Rs 30 lakhs to contest the elections. I appeal to the public to help me contest the Assam state assembly elections”.

Meanwhile, those willing to extend financial assistance to the leader can deposit the amount of their choice in his State Bank of India account bearing the number – 40061709121 and IFSC- SBIN0003030.
