An attempt to bring non-BJP parties together ahead of next year’s assembly polls in Assam seems to have hit a roadblock, with top Congress leaders hinting at the possibility of the main opposition party going alone in 2026.
State Congress president Bhupen Kumar Borah’s post on Facebook on Sunday hinted at the likelihood of the party treading the solo path, while party MP Pradyut Bordoloi’s abrupt departure from an all-opposition party meet the previous evening also cast doubts on consensus for the formation of an anti-BJP forum.
Representatives of opposition parties, including Congress, Left parties, Raijor Dal and Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), had met at a resort in Sonapur, on the outskirts of Guwahati, on Saturday evening, at a meeting convened by leading citizens to bring together non-BJP parties on a common platform for the state polls.
