Two-time Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi, 38, has come a long way from being the shy young man who was thrust into politics by his father, the late Tarun Gogoi. And, for the Congress, the forthcoming Assam elections is the first in a long time without Gogoi senior at the helm. In a free-wheeling interview with Outlook, Gaurav Gogoi, the Congress deputy leader in the Lok Sabha, talks about his party’s pre-poll tie-up with the AIUDF and how the eight-party alliance is planning to bring down the BJP. Excerpts:
The Congress, which was in power in Assam for 15 years since 2001, has formed a Grand Alliance with AIUDF, BPF, CPI, CPI(M), CPI(ML), Anchalik Gana Morcha (AGM), RJD and Jimochayan (Deori) Peoples Party (JPP) to fight the elections against the BJP-led NDA.
Elections will be held in three phases on March 27, April 1 and April 6. Results will be declared on May 2.
The 2016 elections in Assam gave a fractured mandate as no party got an absolute majority.
The BJP had emerged as the single-largest party with 60 MLAs, while its allies Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Bodoland People s Front (BPF) had won 14 and 12 seats respectively. The ruling coalition also had the support of an Independent MLA.
