Assam Opposition Revives United Front to Challenge BJP in 2026

Seven parties regroup under the Asom Sonmilito Morcha to contest the 2026 Assam elections as one.

Overview

Opposition leaders announced the revival of the Asom Sonmilito Morcha after a Congress-convened meeting at the Assam Legislative Assembly Secretariat in Guwahati.
Congress, AJP, Raijor Dal, CPI(M) and three other parties said they will fight the BJP under a unified banner in the 2026 polls.
Participants, including Gaurav Gogoi, Ajit Kumar Bhuyan and CPI(M) MLA Manoranjan Talukdar, framed the effort as a fresh, election-centric push.
Leaders emphasized an anti-corruption and anti-syndicate plank and said a common minimum programme, coordinated campaign and seat-sharing plan will follow.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma mocked the meeting as a “TV serial,” with home guards’ protests in Guwahati adding to a charged political backdrop.
