Tensions Rise Between Raijor Dal and Congress, Threatening Assam Opposition Unity

Efforts to form a united Opposition in Assam are faltering after a clash between Raijor Dal and Congress. Raijor Dal chief Akhil Gogoi accused Congress of sabotaging unity, prompting a sharp response from APCC president Bhupen Borah. Borah defended Congress leaders and criticized Raijor Dal’s actions, hinting at possible BJP links. The fallout comes just days after a key Opposition meeting led by Dr Hiren Gohain, casting doubt over prospects for a joint front ahead of the Panchayat and 2026 Assembly elections.
