Guwahati : Senior Congress leader and MP Gaurav Gogoi on Saturday described the outcome of the recent Assam Assembly elections as “extremely disappointing” and said he was taking full responsibility for the party’s poor performance in the state.

Addressing party leaders and workers, Gogoi said he had already communicated the Congress party’s position to the central leadership and that the high command would decide the future course of action, including any organisational restructuring and political strategy going forward.

“The results of the recent Assembly polls are extremely disappointing. I have said it before that I take full responsibility for it,” Gogoi said. The Congress MP stated that the party has already initiated an internal review process to assess the reasons behind its electoral setback in the 2026 Assembly elections.

According to him, consultations are being held with former MLAs, defeated candidates and newly elected legislators to gather feedback from the grassroots level and evaluate shortcomings in the party’s campaign and organisational structure.

Gogoi said the leadership has also begun discussions with district-level functionaries and senior party leaders as part of a broader introspection exercise. “We would be trying to identify the real reasons which can explain this particular 2026 result over the next month,” he said.

The remarks come amid growing introspection within the Indian National Congress following its heavy defeat in the Assam Assembly elections, where the BJP-led NDA retained power with a decisive mandate.
