BJP Steps Up Efforts to Reclaim Sivasagar Seat Ahead of 2026 Polls

The BJP is intensifying efforts to win back the Sivasagar Assembly seat in the 2026 elections, currently held by Raijor Dal leader Akhil Gogoi. After its 2021 defeat, the party is strengthening its organisation and weighing multiple ticket aspirants. Former Thowra MLA Kushal Duwori is seen as a likely candidate, though his possible nomination has caused internal differences. With an expanded voter base after delimitation, the BJP hopes improved groundwork and a strong candidate will help it regain the prestigious constituency.
