Guwahati, Dec 3: The Congress high command on Tuesday reviewed the party’s preparations for the 2026 Assam Assembly elections at a meeting in New Delhi.

AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met a delegation of Assam Congress leaders led by APCC chief Gaurav Gogoi. The strategy session, held at the party headquarters, focused on strengthening organisational reach and finalising the political roadmap for the polls.

Speaking to reporters, Gogoi said the leadership, satisfied with the team’s performance, had assured full support to advance the party’s “BJP-free” agenda.

“The high command has assured its help to fulfil the people’s dream of a BJP-mukt Assam and will be more involved in realising that vision in the coming days,” he said.

Gogoi added that Gandhi specifically enquired about the progress of the probe into cultural icon Zubeen Garg’s mysterious death.

“It is heartening to see Rahul Gandhi asking how much progress has been made and whether the people of Assam have been apprised of the findings,” he said.
