In a surprising revelation from the mandatory electoral affidavits for the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, an Independent candidate from the Barak Valley has emerged as a focal point of public curiosity due to an unusually large list of movable assets. The candidate, a prominent local businessman contesting for the first time, has declared ownership of 37 different bank accounts spread across nationalized and private banks, along with a fleet of 32 vehicles. The vehicle list is a diverse mix ranging from luxury SUVs and high-end sedans to specialized commercial trucks and heavy machinery, reflecting a wide-reaching business empire in the construction and logistics sectors.
The affidavit, filed with the Returning Officer of Cachar district, provides a transparent look at the candidate’s financial complexity. While the total declared net worth exceeds ₹85 crore, it is the sheer volume of bank accounts—many reportedly used for specific business projects—that has drawn the attention of both the Income Tax department and political rivals. The candidate defended the disclosures, stating that the multiple accounts and extensive fleet are essential for his large-scale operations which provide employment to hundreds of local youths. As voters scrutinize the financial standing of their representatives, this “heavyweight” declaration has sparked a debate on the intersection of big business and grassroots politics in the state’s southern belt.
