Overview
- Congress unveiled the outreach in Dibrugarh under the ‘Raijor Podulit, Raijor Congress’ banner, with a simultaneous digital rollout led by Bhupen Bora and coordinated by Debabrata Saikia.
- The campaign will collect inputs through ‘Aspiration Boxes’ placed at high-footfall sites, aiming for a phased deployment of more than 3,000 boxes across all 35 districts.
- Assam Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi said opposition parties agreed to move into public engagement this month, with a convention proposed in January to present a shared ‘Bor Asom’ vision.
- Manifesto committee head Pradyut Bordoloi said the document will outline a long-term roadmap for all communities and could inform a common minimum programme if an alliance materialises.
- The effort builds on recent grassroots work, including medical camps in tea estates, and is positioned as a consultative alternative to what Congress describes as centralised decision-making in Dispur.
