APCC Plans September Meeting to Discuss Assam Bye-Elections and Panchayat Polls
The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) will hold a crucial meeting in the first week of September to discuss the upcoming bye-elections for five assembly constituencies and panchayat polls in the state. This decision was made after a thorough discussion at Rajiv Bhawan in Guwahati, attended by AICC General Secretary Jitendra Singh, party MPs, and other senior leaders.
Bhupen Kumar Borah, the APCC president, stated, "We have decided to hold a party workers meeting in the first week of September in Charaideo district to discuss upcoming bye-elections, panchayat polls, and the elections of various autonomous councils."
He also mentioned that the party is taking various initiatives to strengthen its organization. Regarding the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls for two seats in Assam, Borah said that the party currently does not have enough MLAs in the state assembly to win the election. "If anyone will come and desire to contest in the Rajya Sabha polls, then we may think about this. But as of now, no one has come forward," he added.
Meanwhile, Bhabesh Kalita, the Assam State BJP president, stated that the BJP will field its own candidates for both Rajya Sabha seats. The BJP's ally partners, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and United People's Party Liberal (UPPL), will support the BJP in winning both seats.
