Congress Begins Post-Poll Reset in Assam, Vows to Counter BJP Propaganda
Following the recent assembly election results in Assam, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) has initiated a strategic reset under the leadership of President Gaurav Gogoi. During a crucial review meeting at Rajiv Bhawan, party officials analyzed their performance and public response from the polling to counting stages. Gogoi announced plans to build a 'New Congress' aimed at creating a 'Greater Assam,' focusing on correcting past mistakes and neutralizing the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) alleged money-powered propaganda through enhanced grassroots engagement and social media strategies. The party acknowledged previous implementation gaps due to time constraints but now intends to leverage post-result feedback to meet public expectations. Additionally, Gogoi dismissed criticisms from activist Akhil Gogoi as habitual and politically ambiguous. In a significant move, the Congress confirmed that no representatives would attend the upcoming swearing-in ceremony of the new government, protesting the transformation of the constitutional event into an expensive political rally. This development marks the beginning of the opposition's reorganization efforts in the region.
