Golaghat (Assam) [India], January 9 : Ahead of the upcoming elections in the state, Assam Congress President Gaurav Gogoi on Friday said the BJP is worried as large crowds attend Congress rallies and programs. He added that the party is scared because its corruption is about to be exposed.
Speaking to ANI in Golaghat, Gogoi said, "The BJP is scared. They are seeing how many people are gathering at Congress rallies and the kind of programs Congress is conducting. So the BJP is scared because all their corruption is about to be exposed..."
Earlier in the day, the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, appointed senior party leaders as AICC Senior Observers for the forthcoming Assembly Elections in several States, with immediate effect, according to a statement from the party.
Bhupesh Baghel, DK Shivakumar and Bandhu Tirkey have been appointed for Assam. Sachin Pilot, KJ George, Imran Pratapgarhi and Kanhaiya Kumar have been named for Kerala.
Additionally, Mukul Wasnik, Uttam Kumar Reddy and Qazi Mohammad Nizamuddin have been appointed for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Sudip Roy Barman, Shakeel Ahmad Khan and Prakash Joshi have been appointed for West Bengal.
West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry are headed to polls this year. While some face the challenge of retaining power, others aim to make history.
West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala are states where the BJP has not yet won assembly elections.
The move by Congress came after its dismal performance in the Bihar elections, where the party contested nearly 61 seats but secured only six, marking a significant electoral setback.
In Bihar, the NDA's 'tsunami' swept away the opposition Mahagathbandhan, with the BJP emerging as the single-largest party with 89 seats, and the Janata Dal (United) finishing a close second with 85. The other allies of the ruling coalition also registered high strike rates.
