Assembly Elections 2026: ECI Sends Over 1,000 Central Observers for Upcoming Polls

Pradyut Bordoloi, the Congress Member of Parliament representing Assams Nagaon Lok Sabha constituency, has officially resigned from the party. This decision comes amid reported disagreements with the state party president, Gaurav Gogoi, concerning the selection of candidates for the upcoming Laharighat Assembly constituency elections.

Bordolois departure highlights ongoing tensions within the Assam Congress, particularly regarding strategic decisions related to candidate nominations. The Laharighat constituency, situated in the Morigaon district, has seen significant political activity in recent years, and candidate selection is crucial for the party’s electoral strategy.

Bordoloi, who has been a longstanding figure in Assams political landscape, may have differing views on the approach the Congress party should take in the state, especially as they prepare to compete against other political parties such as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and regional parties.

As the political scenario evolves, it will be important to monitor how this change impacts both Bordoloi’s political future and the Congress partys strategy for the upcoming elections in Assam.
