Gaurav Gogoi Takes Charge as APCC Chief with Call for Battle

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi assumed charge as Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president on Tuesday, ahead of the 2026 Assembly polls. With the slogan “eibar juj hobo” (this time, there will be a contest), he urged party workers to unite and fight the BJP’s “communal politics.” Gogoi promised inclusive leadership, welcomed suggestions from grassroots workers, and hinted at returning former Congress leaders. AICC leaders and outgoing APCC chief Bhupen Borah extended full support.
