Worth mentioning, the CAP had sought permission from the Soren district administration to hold ‘Mobile Publicity Acitivity’ in the assembly constituencies of Rinchepong, Soreng-Chakung, Salghari-Zoom and Daramdin constituencies from January 18 till today.

The CAP was launched in January last year. On Friday (January 26) Ganesh Rai was declared the Chief Minister candidate for the upcoming elections.
