In a significant political development, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has confidently predicted that the party's alliance will secure a majority and form the government in the upcoming Assam Assembly elections scheduled for 2026. During a press conference held recently, Kharge outlined the Congress's strategic vision for the state, emphasizing a strong electoral push to unseat the current ruling party.
Kharge Launches Scathing Attack on Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma
