Gaurav Gogoi Faults BJP's Alliance Moves, Cites Sonowal–Sarma Tensions Ahead of Assam Polls

He rules out any pact with AIUDF, signaling Congress’s pre‑poll stance.

Overview

  • Gogoi alleges the BJP is undecided on tie-ups in Rabha Hasong, split between BPF and UPPL in Bodoland, and unclear on its seat understanding with the AGP.
  • He claims BJP ticket distribution now favors those who criticize former chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal and says aspirants are being pushed to distance themselves from him.
  • The Assam Congress chief says an opposition front will be formed with like-minded parties but confirms AIUDF is excluded and the vacant Rajya Sabha seat is not a priority under that stance.
  • Accusing the state government of corruption-driven development, he says big-ticket corridors and flyovers chiefly benefit connected contractors, many from outside Assam.
  • On the proposed elevated corridor near Kaziranga, he calls for proper environmental assessment and stresses sustainable planning, while also dismissing pre-election surveys as unreliable.
