This time Congress is leading the opposition alliance in the state. The party high command has clarified that as per the election strategy, 15 seats have been reserved for its allies. This alliance mainly includes the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) and CPI (ML) Liberation. However, this time ‘Raizor Dal’ is not a part of the alliance, which is being considered a significant change in the political circles.

Emphasis on regional equations

In the 23 names included in the second list, special attention has been paid to regional equations and social balance. According to party sources, priority has been given to ground feedback and winnability in the selection of candidates. The Congress aims to return to power in the state, which has been held by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government for the last two terms.

Election campaign will gain momentum

With the announcement of the candidates, Congress is now preparing to sharpen its election campaign in the state. Tours and rallies of senior party leaders are proposed across the state in the coming days. After the names of the candidates have been decided, the mobilization of workers has started at the grassroots level in the assembly constituencies.
