AGP, CPI win one RS seat each from Assam

Ruling Asom Gana Parishad nominee Arun Sarma was on Friday elected to the Rajya Sabha along with Dhrupad Borgohain, a Communist Party of India nominee.

The CPI is the AGP's ally in the state.

Congress nominee and former Union Minister Santosh Mohan Deb was defeated.

The election to the two seats was necessitated following the retirement of former Union minister Matang Singh (Congress) and Tarapada Mazumder (Independent).
