Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, along with other party leaders, campaigned in Assam’s Naoboicha Assembly constituency. Kharge introduced a five-point “guarantee” plan, including financial aid for women, insurance coverage, land rights for indigenous people, and monthly family assistance. He also pledged swift “justice” in the Zubeen Garg case if Congress wins.
Former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel and others criticized the BJP for allegedly neglecting indigenous rights and favoring corporate interests. Bandhu Tirkey’s presence aimed to mobilize tribal voters. Naoboicha, a key constituency in Assam, is closely watched for its electoral dynamics.
In the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections, Naoboicha, now reserved for SC candidates, is poised for a competitive race. The constituency has a history of tight contests, reflecting diverse voter preferences and local factors. The Congress, AIUDF, and Independent candidates have historically vied for dominance in Naoboicha.
