Assam Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi Threatens to Quit Over Possible Renomination of Asif Nazar

The MP says party leaders dismissed his evidence linking a chargesheeted attacker to MLA Asif Nazar.

Overview

  • Pradyut Bordoloi has written to AICC in-charge Jitendra Singh warning he may resign if Lahorighat MLA Asif Mohammad Nazar is renominated for the 2026 Assembly polls.
  • Bordoloi has traveled to New Delhi to press his case after saying his concerns were set aside during internal candidate-screening deliberations.
  • He alleges a chargesheeted accused in an April 2025 attack on him, Emdadul Islam, is closely associated with Nazar and was publicly welcomed after release.
  • Bordoloi says photographs show Islam being felicitated at Gaurav Gogoi’s residence on January 11, 2026, and seated behind Gogoi alongside Nazar at a Morigaon event the next day.
  • He claims Central Election Committee member Imran Masood called his allegations 'false and fabricated' on March 13, and notes neither Gogoi nor Nazar has issued an official rebuttal.
