Assam's 3-phase election begins Saturday but Congress campaign appears to still be floundering. The party feels the lack of a Tarun Gogoi, someone with clear & in-control leadership.
Congress' candidate for Titabor, which goes to the polls in the first phase on 27 March, is Bhaskarjyoti Barua. The party also issued candidates for Dhakuakhana and Naoboicha.
After the death of Tarun Gogoi, the party’s tallest leader in Assam, Congress is faction-ridden, waiting for a call from the high command on state leadership.
In his last public message on 4 November, Tarun Gogoi had said, I wouldn’t have been able to serve without the blessings of God and the people of Assam. I hope you will always love me.
The condition of the 85-year-old former CM deteriorated due to a sudden fall in oxygen saturation levels. Gogoi had tested positive for Covid on 25 August.

Congress is silently acknowledging it over-read verdict of last general election. You can see it in easy concession to SP. It will likely be more reasonable in Maharashtra & Jharkhand.
Congress’ problem is that it is a party owned and operated by a family. The rest of the leaders work for the family in exchange for good payments!
