Samaguri

Congress has raised a big flag over the Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll. Senior leader and Dhubri MP Rakibul Hussain spoke to the media at Rajiv Bhawan in Nagaon on October 7. He accused the BJP of rigging the election.

What the allegations are

Hussain's claims are specific. He says irregularities happened at multiple polling stations in the Samaguri Assembly segment during Tuesday's voting. Around 11 vehicles with unidentified people reportedly entered booths there. He has asked the Election Commission to order fresh polling at the affected booths. Nagaon District Congress Committee has already filed a complaint with the commission.

Hussain also questioned BJP candidate Devashish Sharma and how the process was handled.

One important note here: None of these claims have been independently verified. The Election Commission has not responded yet.

Polling ended with about 76 per cent turnout across the constituency's eight Assembly segments. Officials said the day was peaceful. Only minor EVM glitches showed up, and those were fixed by replacing the machines.

Who is in the race: Devashish Sharma for BJP, Sibamoni Bora for Congress, and AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal. Vote counting is set for October 9.

Assam Pradesh Congress Committee has asked the Election Commission to remove the Nagaon District Election Officer. This request follows a violent attack on a party convoy at Borma Bazar in Samaguri on September 21. The incident happened during the campaign for the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election.

Request for officer removal

Party leaders say they warned local authorities about possible trouble ahead of time. They believe security was not enough. Congress says it no longer trusts the District Commissioner to be fair. They provided video clips, medical records, and photos to the Commission to support their request for an independent investigation.

Party leaders say they warned local authorities about possible threats many times. They claim security was ignored anyway. Congress party disputes an official press note from district administration, which downplayed the violence. Several leaders, including AICC Secretary Manoj Chauhan, were injured during the attack.

Request for investigation

APCC has given video evidence and medical records to Election Commission. They are calling for an independent inquiry. This helps make sure the upcoming election process is fair.

Assam Pradesh Congress Committee has written to Election Commission of India. They want to remove Nagaon District Commissioner, who also acts as District Election Officer. This follows an attack on a Congress campaign group at Borma Bazar in Samaguri on September 21.

Party leaders said they warned local officials about security risks. Senior leader Rakibul Hussain told the administration that former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was visiting. Despite these warnings, people threw stones at the group and damaged vehicles. Two party workers were hurt in the incident.

Request for new leadership

Congress leaders now doubt if local election officials are neutral. They asked election observers to look into what happened independently. The party wants a new officer to manage the rest of the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election, which is set for October 6.

Tension rose in Assam after Congress members reported a violent attack on the convoy of state president Gaurav Gogoi and leader Bhupesh Baghel. The incident took place in the Samaguri assembly segment while they campaigned for the upcoming Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll.

Party members said masked people used stones, iron rods, and acid to attack the vehicles. Several people, including journalists and a party official, were injured during the clash. Congress leaders accused BJP of planning the violence to scare voters and asked for an investigation by the Election Commission.

Election security and next steps

Party members requested that local officials be suspended. They also asked for more security for all candidates and workers until the election finishes on October 6.
