In a strategic move, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) has nominated Gaurav Gogoi for the Jorhat assembly constituency in the upcoming state polls. This decision highlights his influence as a three-time MP and an emerging face in Assam politics as the opposition's chief ministerial candidate.

Expressing gratitude to prominent Congress leaders, Gogoi conveyed his appreciation through social media. He thanked Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, CPP Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, and others for their trust in his capabilities. He extended his gratitude to his family for their unwavering support and the people of his constituency for their past endorsements.

Gogoi aims to steer Assam towards a transformative path, coining the vision for a "New Greater Assam". The Congress, part of the opposition coalition 'Asom Sonmilito Morcha', has released its initial candidate list, signaling a robust challenge against the ruling BJP in the April elections.
