Outgoing Assam Congress Chief Calls for Opposition Alliance
The former leader of the Assam Congress party, Bhupen Kumar Borah, wants to rebuild the alliance of opposition parties before the 2026 elections.
He believes it's important to unite against the current government and avoid joining forces with certain other parties.
Borah, who recently stepped down as the state Congress president, is encouraging discussions to bring different parties together.
He also mentioned Gaurav Gogoi, the new leader, who he thinks has a lot of experience.
Borah shared his time as a leader had challenges, with difficulties getting people involved in the party.
Despite those challenges, Borah is optimistic about the future of the opposition and hopes to see them working together.
Bhupen Kumar Borah expressed hope for reconstructing the opposition alliance ahead of the 2026 polls.
Borah emphasized the importance of avoiding an alliance with AIUDF while opposing the ‘communal' BJP.
Borah advocated for alliance-building with like-minded parties instead of independent campaigning.
Borah appreciated his four-year tenure as Assam PCC President.
Opposition leaders praised his efforts in establishing the 18-party opposition forum Asom Sanmilito Morcha (ASM).
