Following the Congress party's disappointing performance in the Assam Assembly elections, Gaurav Gogoi (president of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee) announced an internal review to understand the reasons behind the defeat. He stated that he takes full responsibility for the outcome and plans to engage with former MLAs and newly elected representatives to gather insights. The review process will involve district-level consultations aimed at identifying key factors affecting the party's performance. Gogoi also rejected claims that Congress has become similar to the Muslim League, reaffirming the party's commitment to constitutional values and inclusive politics. Additionally, he criticized rival parties for dividing opposition votes, which he believes benefited the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Gogoi emphasized the need for transparency in governance, particularly concerning issues like artificial flooding in Guwahati, and reiterated Congress's focus on rebuilding its organization and reconnecting with the electorate.
