Raijor Dal leader and Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi expressed optimism about the ongoing opposition unity discussions in Assam, emphasizing the importance of including Raijor Dal in any potential alliance for the upcoming Assembly polls. Recent interactions with Congress leaders have shown a promising shift in attitudes, indicating a potential broader opposition front.
While Akhil Gogoi noted that direct contact from Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi is pending, he highlighted the communication from senior Congress leader Ripun Bora as a positive sign. Informal dialogues between the parties are ongoing, with Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) president Lurinjyoti Gogoi actively engaging in alliance talks with Raijor Dal.
Assuring that Raijor Dal will not be sidelined in any opposition arrangement, Lurinjyoti Gogoi has reaffirmed the party’s integral role in the coalition. The political landscape in Assam has witnessed increased activity as regional and national parties explore collaborative strategies to challenge the ruling BJP in the forthcoming elections, recognizing Raijor Dal’s significance in Upper Assam.
Opposition Leader Debabrata Saikia confirmed that discussions with Raijor Dal are ongoing, with no final decisions made on alliances or seat-sharing. Stressing the need to avoid misinformation, Saikia urged all parties involved to maintain transparency and clarity throughout the negotiation process.
