United Peoples Party Liberal (UPPL) Candidate Nirmal Kumar Brahma has filed his nomination for the Sidli Assembly Constituency, where by poll is scheduled to take place on November 13 along with the four other constituencies.

Brahma was joined by prominent political figures, including BTR Chief Pramod Boro, Assam Cabinet Minister Ashok Singhal, TR deputy chief GMP Panibushan Choudhary, MP Rwngwra Narzary, and several other members of the NDA Alliance.

Speaking to the media, Brahma stated, “The public of the entire constituency is in support of the UPPL party. Our victory is 100% assured.” With strong backing from the alliance and the local populace, Brahma aims to secure a decisive win in the forthcoming by-election.
