Guwahati, 19th February: Congress leader Pradyut Bordoloi from Assam addressed ongoing internal rifts within the party, emphasizing his lack of privilege by stating, “I have already spoken to the party that if I have to contest then I will prefer the Nagaon Constituency seat, and I think even the party will address my concern because of the fact that we are not born with a ‘golden spoon’.”
Speculation swirls around Gaurav Gogoi’s potential candidacy in the Nagaon Lok Sabha constituency, with conflicting reports emerging from party insiders. While some sources suggest a likely bid from Gogoi in Nagaon, others hint at a dual-contest strategy with Jorhat as a potential alternative.
The uncertainty surrounding Gogoi’s candidacy has heightened the rift within the Assam Congress, with reports indicating a shift towards Jorhat as a contingency plan. Speculation mounts over the contenders for the Nagaon Lok Sabha seat as the rift for Congress party seats in Nagaon continues.
With the spotlight now on who will emerge as the final candidate, the dynamics within the Assam Congress remain fluid. Earlier, Bordoloi had shared a comprehensive report card of his five-year tenure as the Nagaon MP, emphasizing transparency and accountability to his constituents.
However, concerns remain over party unity, as Congress MP Abdul Khaleque emphasized the need for the state party’s president and in-charge to unite the party to prevent further departures due to miscommunication. Amidst internal disagreements and shifting dynamics, the Assam Congress faces the challenge of reconciling divergent interests to present a united front ahead of upcoming elections.
