Congress holds review meeting on Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election, pays tribute to Rupkonwar on birth anniversary
Guwahati, June 17
The Congress has intensified its grassroots-level preparations for the upcoming by-election to the Nagaon Lok Sabha constituency.
A review meeting was held today to assess the performance of the observers already appointed by the Pradesh Congress and to evaluate how effectively they have been working at the booth level and strengthening public outreach across the constituency.
The review and monitoring exercise was conducted on behalf of the All India Congress Committee (AICC).
The meeting was conducted by AICC Secretary in charge of Assam, Manoj Chauhan, and was attended by APCC Organisational General Secretary Bipul Gogoi, MLA Joyaprakash Das, Asif Nazar, Tanzil Hussain, Kamrup Rural District Congress Committee President Pranjit Choudhury, along with nearly all members of the committee constituted for the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election.
Meanwhile, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee today paid tribute to Rupkonwar Jyotiprasad Agarwala on his 123rd birth anniversary at Rajiv Bhawan in Guwahati and commemorated the legendary cultural icon with a remembrance programme.
The memorial event was conducted by Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) Media Department Chairman Bedabrata Bora. The programme began with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp and floral tributes to the portrait of Jyotiprasad Agarwala by APCC Organisational General Secretary Bipul Gogoi.
Apart from senior leaders and workers of the Pradesh Congress, several district Congress presidents, including Mrinal Hazarika, Sunil Chhetri and Jili Choudhury, also participated in the commemorative programme.

Rupkonwar Jyotiprasad Agarwala was a true pioneer of Assamese cinema and culture. Such tributes are important to keep our heritage alive. But I wish parties would focus more on connecting with voters than just organizing events in Guwahati. The real issues in Nagaon need attention.
Congress organizing meetings and paying tributes while ground reality in Assam remains challenging. Hope these observers actually know what's happening at booth level. Nagaon constituency has diverse needs - farmers, youth employment, flood management. Need concrete plans!
Interesting to see how Indian political parties combine cultural events with election strategy. In the West, we rarely see such tributes to historical figures in political meetings. The Assam Congress seems to be using this to connect with local sentiments.
The by-election is a big test for Congress in Assam. After all the shuffles and alliances, let's see if their booth-level strategy works. But honestly, Nagaon people want jobs and infrastructure, not just party rituals. Really hope they address actual problems. ?
