Northeast Desk, 27th March: In a strategic move ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, Pani Taram, the BJP candidate, officially submitted his nomination for the 21st Koloriang Assembly Constituency. The constituency, nestled in the Kurung Kumey District and bordering China, witnessed Taram’s candidacy papers being filed at the DC Office Koloriang, Kurung Kumey District, in the presence of CEO IAS Vishakha Yadav.
Taram’s entry into the electoral fray comes amidst notable internal party dynamics, particularly with Lokam Tassar, the incumbent BJP MLA from Koloriang, being denied a party ticket. Despite this setback, Tassar, in a display of party discipline, has chosen not to contest under any party banner in the forthcoming elections.
Simultaneously, the People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA) has emerged as a significant player in the electoral landscape, with its President, Kahfa Bengia, re-entering the political arena. Bengia, a former minister and erstwhile representative of the Koloriang assembly constituency over two decades ago, is now making a bid for the seat under the PPA banner.
With Taram representing the BJP, Bengia leading the PPA’s campaign, and Tassar stepping aside in deference to party directives, the political landscape in the region is poised for a dynamic contest. As the electoral campaign gains momentum, all eyes are on the 21st Koloriang Assembly Constituency, where these contenders will vie for the electorate’s mandate.
