Gaurav Gogoi and other Mandal supporters vow to stay active in strengthening the party, while Mandal signals a path forward as a worker aligned under Gogoi.

Sarma has announced three observers will screen candidates for the elections, spotlighting concerns about minority-focused ticket allocations and the party’s evolving ground presence.

The party faces challenges in maintaining a diverse voter base amid identity-politics competition driving the Assam race.

Borah indicated discussions with Raijor Dal leader Akhil Gogoi but said no formal offer from another party has been made, signaling potential shifts in alliances.

This development highlights substantial tensions within the Assam Congress as it grapples with allegations, discipline, and legal considerations amid the electoral contest.

In a seismic shift ahead of the Assam assembly elections, Bhupen Kumar Borah has resigned from the Congress, signaling a major realignment in the state’s political landscape.

Prime Ministerial candidate and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma publicly urged Borah to join the BJP, offering him a secure electoral seat and stressing the party’s openness to leaders from ordinary families.

Borah told Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge that he was being ignored and denied his due within the state unit, prompting his resignation letter to follow.

The episode underscores a high-tension, fast-moving political climate as maneuvering intensifies before the elections.

In parallel, Gogoi has asked the Supreme Court to intervene over allegations that a chief minister disclosed his children’s details to the media, while denying SIT claims and citing lack of evidence.

Opposition voices accuse foreign-linked influences in internal Congress disputes, a narrative BJP says could undermine the party’s credibility ahead of polling.
