Former ULFA Commander and Assam MP Naba Kumar Sarania to Contest Bihar Elections, Eyes Valmiki Nagar Seat as Independent Candidate


Naba Kumar Sarania, the sitting MP from Kokrajhar in Assam, has redirected his electoral aspirations to Bihar's Valmiki Nagar constituency after facing obstacles in his Assam nomination bid.

Sarania, a former commander of the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA), has officially entered the electoral race for Valmiki Nagar, filing his nomination papers on May 6. This decision follows his unsuccessful attempts to secure a nomination in Assam, prompting him to shift his attention to another state.

Campaigning fervently, Sarania has embarked on a rigorous outreach effort in Valmiki Nagar, a constituency that shares borders with Nepal and Uttar Pradesh. His independent candidacy brings a fresh dynamic to the electoral landscape, especially given his background as a grassroots leader and his past association with ULFA.

As an independent candidate, Sarania's bid for the Valmiki Nagar seat underscores his commitment to representing the interests of the people, free from party affiliations. His candidacy has stirred anticipation among voters and political observers alike, who are keen to see how his campaign resonates in the region.

Valmiki Nagar, situated within Bihar's West Champaran district, holds strategic importance due to its diverse demographics and geographical location. Sarania's decision to contest as an independent adds an intriguing dimension to the electoral contest in the area.

With the Bihar elections gaining momentum, Naba Kumar Sarania's candidacy will be closely watched as he navigates the electoral terrain of Valmiki Nagar, aiming to secure victory as an independent candidate and make a meaningful impact in the region.
