The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) is set to hold an extensive public interaction programme in Guwahati as part of the concluding phase of its statewide outreach initiative, Raijor Podulit Raijor Congress, aimed at gathering people’s views ahead of the 2026 Assam Assembly elections.
The two-day programme, scheduled to be held in the city, will focus on collecting feedback, suggestions and concerns from a wide cross-section of society, including students, youth groups, intellectuals, writers, journalists, social organisations and representatives of civil society bodies. The inputs gathered will be used to help shape the Congress party’s manifesto for the upcoming polls.
Senior Congress leaders, including APCC president Gaurav Gogoi, Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia and chairman of the party’s manifesto committee Pradyut Bordoloi, are expected to take part in the interactions. According to party sources, around 100 eminent personalities from various fields have been invited to share their perspectives on governance, development, employment, education and other key public issues.
The Guwahati programme marks the final leg of the Raijor Podulit Raijor Congress campaign, which has been conducted across several districts of the State over the past weeks. The outreach drive has already covered parts of Upper and Lower Assam, where Congress leaders held meetings with local communities to understand region-specific concerns.
Party leaders said the initiative reflects the Congress’s effort to prepare a “people-centric manifesto” by directly engaging with citizens rather than drafting policies in isolation. They added that the feedback collected from Guwahati, along with inputs from other districts, would play a crucial role in finalising the party’s vision document for the 2026 Assembly elections.
The Congress has positioned the campaign as a platform for amplifying public voices and addressing issues affecting daily life, as it seeks to strengthen grassroots connections and revive its organisational base in the State.
