Guwahati, April 10: Sandeep Yadav, a Haryana-based political activist and communications strategist, has come under scrutiny following his detention over alleged violations of election rules during polling in the Guwahati Central Assembly Constituency.
Yadav, known for his involvement in grassroots political campaigns and outreach initiatives, currently serves as National Secretary and Communication In-charge for Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan. He is also associated with Jai Kisan Andolan, where he has contributed to media strategy and mobilisation efforts.
He is widely regarded as a close associate of political activist Yogendra Yadav, a prominent figure linked to platforms such as Swaraj Abhiyan and Jai Kisan Andolan, and the National Convener of Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan. His work has largely centred on farmer-related issues, civic campaigns, and opposition-backed public movements.
During the ongoing Assam Assembly elections, Yadav was handling social media and digital communication for AJP candidate Kunki Chowdhury. His responsibilities included shaping campaign messaging, managing online outreach, and coordinating digital narratives for the Guwahati Central constituency.
According to an FIR lodged at Panbazar Police Station, he has been accused of violating election norms by remaining in the constituency despite restrictions imposed on non-local political workers during the 48-hour silence period. He is also alleged to have engaged in activities that could potentially influence voters on polling day.
