"The upcoming electoral battle in Assam is poised to be a high-voltage contest. - Congress Press Release"

New Delhi, March 24

The Indian National Congress is set to officially announce its list of Star Campaigners for the forthcoming Assam Legislative Assembly Elections 2026, with the "distinguished group of senior leaders and dynamic voices reflecting the party's commitment to presenting a strong, credible, and people-centric, much-awaited alternative political regime in the state".

According to the press release issued by the Indian National Congress, these stalwarts of the Congress Party will lead from the front, energising cadres across Assam and taking the party's message of justice, development, and inclusive growth to every corner of the state.

"Their presence underscores the seriousness with which the Congress is approaching these crucial elections. The upcoming electoral battle in Assam is poised to be a high-voltage contest. With this formidable line-up, the Congress Party has put its best foot forward by deploying its most sterling leadership, demonstrating its firm resolve to challenge the incumbent government and expose its failures," the release said.

This announcement sends a clear and strong message against what the party terms as the most corrupt Chief Minister in the country.

While the full list is likely to be released soon, it is expected to include prominent leaders such as Jitendra Singh, Sachin Pilot, Siddaramaiah, Alka Lamba, Shilpi Tirkey, and Kanhaiya Kumar, in addition to top leadership like Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi.

"These star campaigners will engage extensively with voters, highlighting key issues such as rising unemployment, inflation, threats to social harmony, and the erosion of democratic institutions under the current regime," the release added.

The Congress Party remains confident that the people of Assam will support a vision rooted in constitutional values, transparency, and accountable governance, the release said.

Polling for all 126 constituencies in Assam will be held on April 9, with counting scheduled for May 4, as announced by the Election Commission of India.

Good to see a mix of senior and younger leaders like Sachin Pilot and Kanhaiya Kumar. But Congress needs to focus on local Assam issues more than national rhetoric. What about flood management and tea garden workers?

Star campaigners are fine, but where is the strong local leadership? Assam needs leaders from within the state who understand its unique culture and challenges. Bringing Delhi leaders might backfire.

As an observer, it's interesting to see the strategy. Calling the CM "the most corrupt" is a bold move. Elections should be about policy debates, not just name-calling. Hope the discourse remains respectful.

The list looks good on paper, but Congress has a history of poor ground management in Assam. They need a clear vision for development, not just criticizing the BJP. People want solutions, not just complaints.

Inclusion of leaders like Shilpi Tirkey and Alka Lamba is a positive step for representation. Hope they highlight women's issues and safety in their campaigns. Assam's women voters will be watching closely!
