Ahead of the crucial last phase of voting in Assam, the Election Commission has barred BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma from campaigning for 48 hours. Sarma will not be able to campaign any more in Assam as the ban shall remain in force till Sunday evening, by when campaigning for the last phase of polling in the state would have ended. The EC decision comes in the wake of Sarma's alleged threat to the chairman of Bodoland People’s Front, a Congress alliance partner in the state.
