A major setback for the Congress came from Jorhat, where Gaurav Gogoi, projected as the party’s chief ministerial face, suffered a heavy defeat. BJP candidate Hitendra Nath Goswami defeated Gogoi by a margin of over 23,000 votes.
Reacting to the Congress’s poor performance, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Priyanka Kakkar took a swipe at the party on social media platform X. In a post, she sarcastically asked, “Who cut Congress votes in Assam?”

Her remarks came amid speculation about Gandhi travelling abroad ahead of the counting day.
With trends indicating a decisive BJP lead, the results underline the party’s continued dominance in Assam, while raising fresh questions over the Congress’s strategy and leadership in the state.
