Coin toss decides two seats in Assam panchayat election

In Assam's panchayat elections, while BJP celebrated a significant victory, two candidates, Purabi Rajkhowa and Nalin Lekhathop, won their respective wards in Nagaon and Golaghat districts through a coin toss after a tie. Election officials resorted to this method, following regulations, as both candidates received an equal number of votes. Both winners and their opponents accepted the unusual outcome gracefully.
