In a move to ramp up Congress’s electoral machinery, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is set to arrive in Guwahati on Thursday. This high-profile visit underscores the party’s aggressive push ahead of the 2026 Assam Assembly elections. A senior Congress leader confirmed she will begin with darshan at the iconic Kamakhya Temple, followed by intensive back-to-back meetings at the party headquarters.
The marathon sessions at Rajiv Bhavan, kicking off at 11 AM and possibly running till midnight, will cover critical ground. Top priorities include restructuring the organization, fortifying booth-level operations, and scrutinizing overall poll readiness. With infighting plaguing Assam Congress, her intervention is timely to assess the political landscape and mend fences.
Expect one-on-one chats with district-level chieftains to harvest feedback on local issues. This comes as opposition dynamics shift in Assam, marked by high-profile defections that have dented Congress’s standing. Her tour is positioned as a unity call, aimed at rallying the troops and restoring confidence among the rank and file.
Priyanka’s energetic foray marks her return to the state after a gap, and party workers are pinning hopes on her to deliver a roadmap for revival. The visit signals Congress’s no-holds-barred approach to reclaiming lost turf. While full itineraries remain under wraps, the anticipation is building for what could be a pivotal moment in Assam’s political narrative.
