Assam Jatiya Parishad Chief Lurinjyoti Gogoi Faces Key Contest Against BJP in Khowang

Lurinjyoti Gogoi, president of the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), has yet to secure an electoral victory despite contesting multiple seats in Assam's 2021 Assembly and 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Founded in 2020 by former AASU leaders opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act, AJP focuses on indigenous rights and regional issues. In the 2024 Assam Assembly polls, Gogoi contested the Khowang seat against BJP's Chakradhar Gogoi, with the contest seen as crucial for AJP's political future amid BJP's strong presence.
