New Delhi, May 30 (UNI) Senior officials of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee, including newly appointed president Gaurav Gogoi, met top party leaders at the Congress headquarters, Indira Bhavan here on Friday and discussed the current political situation in the state.
“Today, under the leadership of President Mallikarjun Kharge, I had a meeting with the newly formed Assam Pradesh Congress members at the Congress headquarters, Indira Bhavan,” said Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, in a post on X.
The meeting is believed to have deliberated on the Assembly elections in Assam next year and the current political landscape in the state. Apart from Kharge and Gandhi, the meeting was attended by Congress General Secretary in-charge of the state, Jitendra Singh Alwar, K C Venugopal, and other senior leaders.
Notably, Gaurav Gogoi’s appointment as the Assam Pradesh Congress president is seen as a strategic move to prevent BJP’s hat-trick in the upcoming Assembly elections.
