Food references dominate campaign trail for Assam's Nagaon bypoll

The election campaign for the Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll in Assam reached its final stretch ahead of voting scheduled for October 6.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Congress MP Rakibul Hussain engaged in a sharp verbal exchange revolving around culinary terms like biryani, pulao, and dry fish.

AIUDF chief Maulana Badruddin Ajmal also joined the political war of words, entering the contest for the seat that fell vacant after former MP Pradyut Bordoloi resigned.
