Key Congress leaders from Assam gathered in New Delhi on Thursday to devise strategies for the impending state elections, slated for early 2026.

Among the attendees were former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and prominent figures including AICC general secretary K C Venugopal and Assam Congress chief Bhupen Bora. The meeting, held at the Indira Bhawan headquarters, underscored the need for unity and robust efforts to dethrone the ruling BJP party.
