Assam Opposition Revives United Front to Take On BJP in 2026 Polls

Next steps focus on seat-sharing talks to turn the revival into a workable alliance.

Overview

  • The Congress convened a meeting at the Assam Legislative Assembly Secretariat where regional and Left parties agreed to fight together under a revived Asom Sonmilito Morcha.
  • Reports list participants including AJP, Raijor Dal, CPI, CPI(M), CPI(ML), Anchalik Gana Morcha or Jatiya Dal-Asom, and APHLC, alongside the Congress.
  • AIUDF did not join the discussions, leaving open whether it will be part of the eventual formation.
  • Leaders said a common minimum programme, a coordinated campaign, and seat-sharing arrangements will be worked out in follow-up meetings before the 2026 vote.
  • The Congress launched a ‘Raijor Padulit, Raijor Congress’ outreach and said 80–90% booth-level agents are in place, as Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma dismissed the initiative as a ‘TV serial.’
