He is representing the Kokrajhar constituency in Assam from 2014 and won as an Independent Candidate in Lok Sabha elections 2014.[1][2][3] He won by the highest margin ever recorded in polls in Assam and as an independent candidate in the history of Lok Sabha elections.

Saraniya’s father is dead and he is the eldest among four brothers and two sisters. Both sisters are in their twenties. The saraniyas own 15 bighas of land and are fairly well-off. They live in a typical Assamese house.[4]
