Phani Bhushan Choudhury, an eight-time AGP MLA and former minister in Sarbananda Sonowal's ministry, is leading by nearly 32,000 votes in Assam's Barpeta constituency. The constituency saw significant demographic changes during a recent delimitation exercise. Congress denied a ticket to its sitting MP Abdul Khaleque amid these changes.

In the hotly contested Barpeta constituency of Assam, NDA ally Asom Gana Parishad's (AGP) stalwart Phani Bhushan Choudhury is making significant strides. Choudhury, an eight-time MLA and a former minister in the Sarbananda Sonowal-led BJP ministry, leads by nearly 32,000 votes over Congress rival Deep Bayan.

Historically a minority-dominated area, Barpeta's political landscape underwent substantial changes following the delimitation exercise. These demographic shifts prompted the Congress to deny a ticket to its sitting MP, Abdul Khaleque, marking a strategic realignment for the party.

Choudhury's lead underscores his enduring influence in the region and reflects the evolving voting patterns in Barpeta. As the election results continue to unfold, all eyes remain on this critical constituency.
