Congress suffered a decisive defeat in Nagaon, prompting activist Akhil Gogoi to claim that minority communities have also turned away from the party and to criticize a former ally.
Congress faced a rout in the Nagaon constituency, marking a significant setback for the party in Assam.
Akhil Gogoi, a well‑known activist and former ally of the party, said that the defeat reflects a broader loss of support among minority voters who have "deserted" Congress.
He directed sharp criticism at the former ally, accusing it of contributing to the party’s poor performance, though he did not name the organization.
The comments highlight internal dissent within Congress as it grapples with declining electoral fortunes in the state.
