Himanta Biswa Sarma Submits Nomination for Jalukbari Constituency in 2026 Assembly Elections

The Congress party has officially finalized its alliance with Raijor Dal in preparation for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections, concluding weeks of negotiations that had been marked by uncertainty. This partnership aims to strengthen their collective position against rival parties in the state, particularly the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Raijor Dal, a regional party founded in 2020, has gained traction in Assam by focusing on issues pertinent to the local population, including economic development and cultural preservation. The alliance is expected to enhance the Congress partys appeal in the state, especially among voters who prioritize regional issues.

The Assam Assembly elections, scheduled for early 2024, are critical as they may impact the broader political landscape in the northeast region of India. Both parties are working to finalize a common manifesto that outlines their priorities and strategies for governance, including how to address pressing concerns such as unemployment and social inequality in Assam.
