Assam Congress Launches Statewide 'Ganosanjog Jatra' to Gather Public Input for Election Manifesto

The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) is set to kick off its ambitious statewide 'Ganosanjog Jatra' campaign from Friday under the banner of 'Raijor Podulit Raijor Congress', aimed at collecting suggestions from the public to shape the party's election manifesto for building a "New Assam".

The extensive outreach programme, led by APCC President Gaurav Gogoi, will involve senior leaders, MPs, MLAs, and party workers engaging directly with citizens across rural and urban areas. The initiative seeks to incorporate inputs from diverse groups, including farmers, workers, students, small traders, entrepreneurs, women, intellectuals, social organisations, and community leaders.

A key team comprising former MP and Chairman of the APCC Election Management Committee Ripun Bora, MLA Nurul Huda, and Mahila Congress President Mira Borthakur departed from Rajiv Bhawan in Guwahati on Thursday for the hill districts of Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao. Before setting off, the team paid floral tributes at the Zubin Garg Kshetra memorial in Sonapur.

From Friday, this team will begin interactions in the two hill districts to gather public opinions.

APCC President Gaurav Gogoi will participate in the campaign in Majuli and Dibrugarh, with scheduled meetings and events in Dibrugarh, Makum, Dhemaji, and Lakhimpur districts from December 21 to 24.

AICC General Secretary in charge of Assam, Jitendra Singh, is also slated to join multiple meetings across the state starting Friday.

Leader of the Opposition in the Assam Legislative Assembly, Debabrata Saikia, will cover districts in Lower Assam, including Barpeta and Bajali. MP and Chairman of the Manifesto Committee Pradyut Bordoloi will engage with various sections of society in Hailakandi in Barak Valley.

Chairman of the Election Campaign Committee Bhupen Bora will lead the Jatra in Darrang on December 21, Sonitpur on December 22, and Biswanath on December 23.

The campaign will operate through five dedicated teams, supported by five specially prepared buses. To facilitate broader participation, the APCC has launched a dedicated digital platform at www.natunaxom.com.

The 'Raijor Podulit Raijor Congress' campaign was officially flagged off by Gaurav Gogoi on December 6 in Dibrugarh, marking the beginning of this mass-connect drive ahead of the elections.
