Digital Desk: The BJP has announced its candidates for the September 5 byelections to Dhanpur and Boxanagar assembly constituencies in Tripura's Sepahijala district, a party leader said today in Agartala.
The party nominated Taffajal Hussain for the Boxanagar assembly seat and Bindu Debnath for the Dhanpur seat, he said.
Hussain is a local leader in Boxanagar, and Debnath is the party's mandal president in Dhanpur.
"Senior leaders are heading to Boxanagar and Dhanpur today to kick off the booth-level campaign. Our candidates will file nomination papers on Thursday," Tripura BJP's media in-charge Sunit Sarkar said.
The Boxanagar by-poll was necessitated due to the death of CPI(M) MLA Samsul Haque.
The resignation of Union Minister Pratima Bhoumik as MLA of Dhanpur triggered a by-election for that seat.
The CPI (M)-led Left Front has nominated Kaushik Chanda and Mijan Husain for the assembly constituencies of Dhanpur and Boxanagar, respectively.
The last date for submitting nomination papers is August 17, with scrutiny beginning the next day.
The counting of votes for the by-polls will be on September 8.
