Following the Congress party's poor performance in Assam's 2026 Legislative Assembly elections, Jitendra Singh resigned as the party's Assam in-charge, taking full responsibility for the outcome. The Congress secured only 19 seats, with key leaders like state president Gaurav Gogoi losing their seats. Singh expressed gratitude for his tenure and pledged continued support, while the ruling NDA, led by the BJP and its allies, won a two-thirds majority to form the government for the third consecutive term.
