Guwahati is bracing for a significant political development as Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra lands in the city on Thursday. Her visit comes at a crucial juncture, with the Assam Assembly elections looming in 2026. Party insiders reveal that she will kick off her trip with a spiritual note, offering prayers at the revered Kamakhya Temple on Nilachal Hills before diving into a series of high-stakes meetings.
Right after the temple visit, Priyanka will head to the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee headquarters at Rajiv Bhavan. There, she is scheduled to hold discussions starting at 11 AM, expected to stretch late into the night. These sessions will bring together office-bearers, frontal organization leaders, department heads, and senior functionaries.
The agenda is laser-focused on organizational overhaul. Strengthening booth-level committees tops the list, alongside a thorough review of preparations for the upcoming polls. Amid reports of internal discord within Assam Congress, her presence is seen as a morale booster. She may also engage with leaders from various districts to gauge ground realities and address grassroots concerns.
This tour gains extra weight against the backdrop of political flux in Assam’s opposition circles. Recent exits of senior leaders from Congress have raised eyebrows, and Priyanka’s interactions aim to foster unity and inject fresh energy into the cadre. Congress hopes her strategic inputs will sharpen their edge in the battle ahead.
It’s her first Assam visit in recent months, and leaders are optimistic it will galvanize the party machinery. Official details will follow soon, but the buzz in Guwahati is already palpable. As Assam gears up for electoral showdowns, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s playbook could prove game-changing for Congress’s fortunes.
