“Their logic is that the Election Commission is not related to any department. This is an absurd logic because the chief election commissioner is appointed by the PM and government,” he added.

Gogoi also claimed that there have been instances of electors visiting a polling station during voting, coming to know that their names are missing from the list.

Speaking about Operation Sindoor, the Congress MP said, “The Union home minister did not even give minimum respect to the deceased of the Pahalgam terror attack. People died because of intelligence failure of the agencies under his ministry, but they did not apologise to the people. That’s their nature.”

The extended executive meeting of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee began on Sunday morning. All party MPs, MLAs and senior leaders of the state unit participated in it.

In the meeting, the strategy for the upcoming assembly elections in the state will be discussed threadbare, an official said.

Assembly elections in Assam for 126 seats are likely in March-April 2026.

“The meeting will adopt two resolutions. One will be political and the other will be economic. These will be prepared keeping in mind the upcoming assembly polls,” the party official said.
