Overview
- Unveiling the Natun Bor Asom Abhiyan in Guwahati, senior Congress observers Bhupesh Baghel and Bandhu Tirkey joined state leaders to cite affidavit-based jumps in Himanta Biswa Sarma’s declared assets and pledged inquiries if the party returns to power.
- APCC president Gaurav Gogoi said a pre-poll alliance of opposition parties will be finalized soon and reiterated that Congress will not ally with the AIUDF, including for the vacant Rajya Sabha seat.
- Gogoi alleged the BJP is unsettled over alliance choices in Rabha Hasong and Bodoland and strained with the AGP, pointing to signs of internal friction involving figures close to Sarbananda Sonowal.
- Congress questioned large infrastructure plans, warning that the proposed Kaziranga elevated corridor risks environmental harm and asserting that big contracts benefit a select group linked to the ruling establishment.
- The party released a government letter it says shows publicity manipulation and appealed to the Election Commission over voter-list deletions, later alleging attempts to strike names and enroll outsiders, as separate reporting noted the BJP’s early organisational advantage.
