Expressing his discontent with the delimitation of the Nagaon Parliamentary constituency, former Union Minister and senior BJP leader Rajen Gohain tendered his resignation from the position of Chairman of Assam Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Limited on August 18.
Rajen Gohain had faithfully represented the Nowgong constituency in Central Assam since 1999, securing four consecutive terms until 2014.
In a conversation with ANI, he articulated his concerns, stating, “Following the delimitation, the Nagaon Parliamentary constituency has now become a seat predominantly represented by minority communities.” He also voiced doubts regarding the leadership of the state BJP and the state government concerning the safeguarding of the indigenous population of the state.
The recent delimitation process led to the incorporation of portions of the Nowgong Lok Sabha constituency into the newly-formed Kaziranga Lok Sabha Constituency.
