Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi announced the party will contest 100 out of 126 seats in the upcoming state assembly elections, leaving the rest for allies. He reiterated that the Congress will not form an alliance with the AIUDF, which he described as a "communal" party. Gogoi also pledged that if Congress wins, a law will be enacted to penalize those spreading religious hatred, aiming to restore peace and unity in Assam.
