In Assam, with just a fortnight remaining for polling, the campaign for the Assembly elections has gathered significant momentum across the state. Political parties have intensified their outreach, with candidates actively engaging voters through rallies, public meetings, and door-to-door campaigns.
In Jorhat, one of the most high-profile constituencies, Gaurav Gogoi, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee President and Congress candidate, held a series of election meetings and rallies today. He is in a contest with BJP candidate and sitting MLA Hitendra Nath Goswami. Mr. Goswami also carried out extensive campaigning, reaching out to voters and highlighting various development works done during the BJP term. While Gaurav Gogoi is being projected as a chief ministerial face by the Congress, Jorhat is a bastion of Hitendra Nath Goswami, and he is aiming to win the seat for a sixth term. Senior BJP Leader and Chief Minister Hemanta Biswa Sarma also held election rallies in several key constituencies today. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Assam on the 29th of this month to address election rallies in Tihu and Dhekiajuli constituencies in support of BJP candidates. The Congress and its alliance partners have also lined up their star campaigners for the coming days.
