Assam Assembly elections 2026: Bid to woo new voters in CM Himanta’s long-time constituency Jalukbari
Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Chief Minister of Assam, filed his nomination papers for the upcoming Assembly elections in Jalukbari constituency. He faces competition from Bidisha Neog of the Congress and Dipika Das of the Bhumi Adhikar Party. The delimitation exercise has shifted some areas within the constituency, but Sarma is expected to win with a comfortable margin. He has been actively campaigning in the area, focusing on development projects and community outreach. The BJP is working hard to secure strong voter turnout in this region, particularly in Garigaon, where there has been significant improvement in infrastructure and social welfare schemes since the 2023 delimitation.
