The BJP says people in Sibsagar constituency ruing electing Akhil Gogoi five months ago
More than a fortnight after a pre-poll alliance with the Congress failed to materialise, the Raijor Dal has exuded confidence about adding to its Assam Assembly seat tally.
The party has its president and former activist Akhil Gogoi as the lone representative in the 126-member House.
Mr. Gogoi had in September asked the State unit of the Congress to support its candidates for two of the five Assembly seats — Mariani and Thowra in eastern Assam — where by-elections are scheduled on October 30. The support was deemed crucial for defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), their “common enemy”.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
