Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika has taken a sarcastic dig at Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, mocking the low turnout at his rally in Jorhat. In a Facebook post, Hazarika suggested that Gogoi should start his political campaigns from Dhubri instead of Jorhat, implying that his stronger support base lies in minority-dominated regions.
Hazarika’s Satirical Remarks on Gogoi’s Rally Turnout
- Jorhat Rally Attendance: Hazarika claimed that only 500 people attended Gogoi’s first rally after becoming Assam Pradesh Congress Committee President.
- Mocking Future Rally Projections: He humorously predicted turnout numbers for Gogoi’s rallies in different districts:
- Jorhat: 500
- Nagaon: 5,000
- Barpeta: 10,000
- Dhubri: 50,000
- Political Jab: Hazarika sarcastically advised Gogoi to “plan future rallies starting from Dhubri”, stating, “No need to thank me”.
Political Implications and Congress Response
Hazarika’s remarks are seen as an attempt to undermine Gogoi’s mass appeal in upper Assam, while reinforcing BJP’s stronghold in the region. Congress leaders have yet to respond to the mockery, but Gogoi’s supporters argue that his leadership will strengthen the party’s presence in Assam.
Future Outlook
With Assam’s political landscape heating up, Gogoi’s ability to mobilize support will be crucial ahead of the 2026 state elections. Meanwhile, Hazarika’s comments highlight the intensifying rivalry between BJP and Congress in the state.
