Congress Unveils “People’s Chargesheet”

Guwahati: In the presence of Congress Screening Committee Chairperson Priyanka Gandhi, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) today unveiled a booklet titled “People’s Chargesheet” at Rajiv Bhawan, the party’s state headquarters (Assam Congress Chargesheet 2026).

Over the past several months, senior leaders and workers of the Pradesh Congress had divided into multiple teams and traveled across different parts of Assam to collect grievances from the public against the ruling BJP government. Later, under the supervision of MP Pradyut Bordoloi, who heads the party’s Election Manifesto Committee, the “People’s Chargesheet” was prepared. The document lists 20 allegations against the BJP government.

On Thursday, in the presence of senior Congress leaders including Priyanka Gandhi and APCC President Gaurav Gogoi, along with party workers from the block level, MP Pradyut Bordoloi read out the charges after the unveiling ceremony.

The Allegations:
