GUWAHATI
The nomination papers of two-time Assam MP Naba Kumar Sarania, the chief of the Gana Suraksha Party, were rejected on Sunday after his Scheduled Tribe (ST) certificate was found invalid.
A former member of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom, Mr. Sarania has represented western Assam’s Kokrajhar Lok Sabha constituency as an Independent since 2014. It is one of two seats in Assam reserved for the ST community.
