The Opposition AGP is likely to field Joseph Toppo in Tezpur in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls slated for April 24.
The move to field Toppo from Tezpur got momentum day after the sitting MP faxed his resignation papers to the party leadership on Thursday alleging utter humiliation from the party.
Sources closed to Toppo claimed on Friday that he might join BJP. But he has yet to disclosed his future course of action.
On the other hand, senior AGP leaders told Assam Times that Toppo’s resignation as unfortunate as the party has not formally declared the candidate.
In yet another development, senior leader Brindabon Goswami said that he won’t contest from Tezpur and urged the party leadership to field Toppo from Tezpur.
