Assam Congress Opens Post-Poll Review, Sets 2029 Rebuild Plan

Overview

• The APCC, which held a special review in Guwahati on Saturday, began a phased audit with state and district consultations and planned public outreach.
• Gogoi urged party workers to start preparing for the 2029 Lok Sabha race now and said restructuring will follow feedback from candidates and local leaders.
• Party leaders reported sharp drops in some EVM battery readings from about 96% on polling day to near 6% on counting day and sought an investigation, with no Election Commission response reported.
• Jitendra Singh, who resigned as Assam in-charge after the results, backed Gogoi’s leadership at the review and said the Congress high command will set up a special committee to examine the outcome.
• Leaders blamed weak booth-level networks for losses and said AIUDF and AIMIM split opposition votes, as Congress plans deeper grassroots work after winning 19 of 126 seats as the principal opposition.
