The convention focused on bolstering the Congress’s organisational structure at the grassroots level and devising strategies to enhance party unity and mobilise support across West Karbi Anglong.
Addressing the gathering, Manoj Chauhan warned against possible voter list manipulation in Assam, drawing parallels with alleged irregularities in Bihar.
He reiterated claims by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of colluding with the Election Commission to engage in vote theft.
Chauhan alleged that in Bihar, the BJP inflated its vote share and removed the names of voters supporting the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and Left parties from the rolls.
He cautioned that similar tactics could be attempted in Assam through a special and extensive voter list revision process.
“We will not allow such attempts to succeed in Assam under any circumstances,” he said, vowing that the Congress would resist any efforts to delete names from voter lists.
The convention ended with Congress leaders reaffirming their commitment to strengthening the party’s organisational base and safeguarding the democratic rights of voters ahead of the 2026 elections.
