Assam polls will be fight between people and 'raja': Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi

Gaurav Gogoi, president of the Assam Congress, accused the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government of running an authoritarian regime and suppressing citizens' rights to criticize. He claimed that upcoming Assembly elections would be a battle between the people and the "raja" (ruler). Gogoi asserted that the government is using welfare schemes as a tool for control, attaching conditions to benefits based on political affiliation. He also criticized the BJP for divisive politics aimed at destroying unity in Assam. Gogoi emphasized the need for opposition parties to unite and called for citizens to be aware of these conspiracies.
