The Election Commission can announce the election dates for the Assam Assembly elections by the end of this month. Before this big announcement, big and small parties of the state are busy setting their own agenda among the public. Both the national parties Congress and BJP are at the forefront of this work. Both the parties do not want to miss even a single opportunity to humiliate each other in the eyes of the public. This is the reason why Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is continuously calling Congress State President Gaurav Gogoi a supporter of Pakistan. Not only this, the CM has said that Assam’s second largest party and the main opposition Congress is not serious about winning in the state.
On the other hand, Congress is also going among the public with BJP and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and trying to tell that this government is corrupt. Janta’s Congress in the state has said that it is fighting against the corruption and syndicate rule of BJP. In such a situation, both the parties are playing the political game of narrative against each other in Assam. Let us know how Congress-BJP are working to create the narrative…
CM Himanta Sarma’s election campaign and attack in this election is against Congress. They know that if anyone can challenge BJP in the state elections, it is the Congress party. Therefore, Sarma can attain power in the state only by defeating Congress.

Denied the importance of Priyanka Gandhi!
Congress General Secretary and second most important leader at the national level, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, has a proposed visit to Guwahati. When Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was asked about this on Tuesday (February 17), he reduced the importance of Priyanka Gandhi. CM Himanta downplayed the importance of this visit and asked whether it would have any electoral impact in the state?
Answering media questions, Sarma said, ‘Why? Is she going to vote here? In the political environment of Assam, local leadership has more importance. The Chief Minister said, ‘I am a big leader. Bhupen Bora is a big leader. As far as Assam is concerned, Dilip Saikia is a big leader. State level leaders have more influence on voters than national celebrities.
Raijor Dal will be in the fight, not Congress – CM
He claimed, ‘By next year, all the hardworking Muslim leaders of Congress will join Raijor Dal. Our main political concern for the next elections is not Congress but Raijor Dal because grassroots level workers can move from Congress to regional organizations.
He said that if Akhil Gogoi joins Congress then it is a different matter. But if he wants to maintain his party as an independent force, BJP will have to fight against Raijor Dal.
Both BJP and Congress are intensifying efforts to expand their reach ahead of the upcoming election contests. In this series, Chief Minister Himanta tried to weaken the importance of Congress among the public by giving another big statement. He has said that Congress is not in a fight with his party BJP.
He claimed, ‘By next year all the hardworking Muslim leaders of Congress will join Raijor Dal. Our main political concern for the next elections is not Congress but Raijor Dal because grassroots level workers can move from Congress to regional organizations.

Question mark on Congress leadership!
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday described Congress as an immature party. Reacting to the political developments related to former Assam Congress president Bhupen Kumar Bora, he said that Congress should have paid attention to the reasons behind senior leaders leaving the party and not try to reverse their decisions by persuading them. He said that it is not that if Rahul Gandhi speaks, people will change their decision. Sarma said that when a leader resigns after serving the party for more than three decades, there are very serious reasons behind it. He said that instead of introspecting the Congress, the Congress leadership assumes that decisions can be changed by personal interference.
Congress’s narrative against BJP and CM
In Assam elections 2026, Congress is also setting the narrative among the public against BJP and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Congress is mainly attacking the failures, corruption and divisive policies of the Himanta government while targeting the BJP. Congress is also going among the public on these issues.
Congress has accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his government of corruption. This also includes alleged serious scams related to CM Himanta’s family. The party claims that BJP is trying to buy votes by giving freebies (like subsidies on rice, pulses, salt and gas) before the elections. Congress has called this not a concern for the poor but an election trick of BJP.
Allegations of selling tickets in Assam
Apart from this, Congress has accused BJP of selling tickets in Assam. The party has said that BJP is misusing power and looting the people and worsening the financial condition of Assam. Apart from this, the state unit of Congress has accused BJP’s Himanta Biswa Sarma government of failure in flood management and basic development in Assam. He also said that the youth in the state are facing unemployment and economic issues, which they are fighting hard.
betrayal of tribal communities
Congress has accused BJP of betraying the tribal communities before the elections. The party says that the BJP government has spread confusion among the people in the name of giving tribal status. Congress has said that BJP’s promises to the tribal communities are only for the vote bank, while it is not doing their actual development.
At the same time, the party is trying to tell the public that the BJP government is committing alleged election rigging and vote theft in Assam and is promoting religious polarization and communal politics to win elections in the state.
