Without giving an iota of attention to the criticism of dynasty politics, a billionaire family’s three members are in the fray for Assam Assembly polls. Six-time MLA and former Congress minister Gautam Roy, who switched to the BJP, his son Rahul and daughter-in-law Daisy are contesting from Katigora, Udharbond and Algapur, respectively. Roy joined the BJP in 2019.

Rahul, 46, won the Algapur seat in 2006 on a Congress ticket, but lost in 2011 and 2016. He left the party in 2019 in support of the CAA. Both Rahul and Daisy, 46, are contesting as Independents this time.
