Union Minister Pabitra Margherita criticized Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi, alleging that he is attempting to create divisions in society for electoral gains. Margherita warned the public to be wary of Gogoi’s actions, which he claimed are harmful to the community.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also joined in the criticism, dismissing Gogoi’s accusations of electoral roll manipulation as mere political theatrics. Sarma urged the public to view Gogoi’s public appearances as entertainment rather than serious political discourse.
The ongoing clash between the ruling BJP leadership and the Raijor Dal, led by Gogoi, has intensified ahead of the 2026 Assam Legislative Assembly election. Gogoi has been vocal about alleged attempts to manipulate voter lists, a claim vehemently denied by Chief Minister Sarma.
Political analysts view this exchange as part of the escalating rivalry in Assam’s political arena, where both sides are actively engaging in a battle for public support and electoral success.
Gogoi remains steadfast in his allegations, emphasizing the importance of protecting the democratic process from any attempts to tamper with voter lists. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sarma is focusing on promoting development initiatives to counter Gogoi’s narrative.
