Assam: Clamour in Congress growing to come out of the Mahajot

Clamour in Congress in Assam is growing to come out of the Mahajot (Grand Alliance).

Congress prior to assembly polls in March-April this year cobbled up ten parties’ alliance. Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi in a statement stated, “Today in a one-on-one meeting with the PCC President, he asked me to my views on the future of the Mahajot. I believe it is time for the Indian National Congress party in Assam to be independent of the Mahajot. The Congress party is the only party that can take on the BJP”

He added, “For that we need to strengthen our party organisation across Assam including those constituencies where there are MLAs of the Mahajot. The Mahajot was finalised a few months before the 2021 elections. Prior to that the party has fulfilled its duty as an Opposition party on its own. Going forward inside the Assam assembly, the party may still consult with other opposition parties if and when the BJP government brings anti-people policies. People have huge expectations from the Congress party and if we will fulfil them, we will form the next government in 2026. These sentiments are not only mine but that of thousands of party workers across the state."
