Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra arrived in Assam for a two-day trip focused on ramping up preparations for the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections, underscoring organisational strategy and candidate selection efforts. She chaired marathon screening meetings with party leaders and grassroots workers in Guwahati and offered prayers at the Kamakhya Temple before proceeding to intensive internal deliberations. During the visit, she released a 20-point “people’s chargesheet” accusing the ruling BJP government of corruption, economic mismanagement and alleged syndicate raj, positioning Congress for a tougher electoral challenge. The visit reflects the party’s heightened focus on strengthening its base and contest strategy in the poll-bound state. (PC: PTI)
