In a fierce critique of Assam's governance, Congress President Gaurav Gogoi accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of widespread corruption and failing to ensure justice. The allegations came amid claims of voter suppression against minorities, exacerbating tensions in the state's political climate.

During a significant political event in Guwahati, Gogoi led a mass joining program under the Jati Bachao, Mati Bachao campaign. Key figures across various political parties, including former leaders of minority and tribal organizations, defected to Congress, signaling growing unrest and discontent with the current administration.

Gogoi stressed Assam's need to overcome divisive fear politics and recapture the unity seen during historical battles. By questioning authority, Gogoi channelled his late father's legacy, advancing calls for the end of Sarma's reign through collective action and upcoming electoral challenges.
