Guwahati, Mar 14: Gaurav Gogoi is all set to contest from Jorhat. The party workers welcomed him at Rajiv Bhawan in Guwahati on Wednesday.

Speaking to the media he said that “I am very happy with the list of candidates; I feel that we have put in some of our best candidates. The Mahila Congress state president, the state president of the Seva Dal, general secretary of a district Congress committee, all three have found space,” Gaurav added.

Gaurav Gogoi, whose Kaliabor constituency was scrapped in the delimitation exercise, will fight polls from the Jorhat seat. Jorhat is a stronghold for the BJP, which won it in the last two Lok Sabha elections.

Gogoi, son of former Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, was keen to fight polls from Nagaon, but its sitting Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi had been opposing his candidature and insisted that as he won the seat with a good margin in 2019, he must be fielded again from there.
