Assam Congress Demands Parliament Debate on EC Neutrality and Voter List Revisions

The party has sent grassroots feedback to its high command ahead of a land rights campaign set to launch in September.

Overview

  • On August 3, APCC president Gaurav Gogoi formally urged Parliament to discuss the Election Commission’s impartiality and recent voter list revisions in Bihar.
  • Gogoi cited multiple reports of electors arriving at polling stations only to find their names missing from the rolls.
  • The Assam unit compiled public recommendations from padayatras and booth‐level surveys and submitted them to AICC in-charge Jitendra Singh Alwar for senior leadership review.
  • APCC leaders approved a “bold” land rights initiative that will target the redistribution of land held by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his associates beginning in September.
  • Gogoi accused the central government of concealing electoral manipulations in past assembly and Lok Sabha polls by blocking any parliamentary debate on EC oversight.
