Gaurav Gogoi Hails Election Results as 'Insurance Policy' Against BJP

Gaurav Gogoi, Deputy Leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha, described recent election results as an 'insurance policy' against BJP's alleged authoritarian politics. He emphasized that BJP's reduced majority now forces it to consider the sensitivities of its NDA allies. Gogoi won the Jorhat seat in Assam, asserting Congress' influence.

Deputy Leader of Congress in the outgoing Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, on Thursday described the parliamentary election results as an 'insurance policy' against the alleged authoritarian politics of the BJP.

Gogoi asserted that the BJP’s inability to secure a majority on its own would force its NDA allies to support the opposition INDIA bloc on sensitive parliamentary issues. He claimed people voted strategically to counter BJP's excessive confidence and arrogance.

Highlighting his victory in Assam's Jorhat seat, Gogoi credited the people and pointed out the Congress campaign as a 'template to take on BJP’s muscle and money power' for future elections.
