“The results of the last Assam Assembly polls are extremely disappointing. I have already said that I will take full responsibility for this,” Gogoi told reporters.
He added that he had communicated the same to the party high command and stated that the party has already started an internal review process.
“I have also contacted the high command and it is the duty of the high command to decide on the future course of action in terms of organizational restructuring and outline the next few steps. At the same time, we have already initiated an internal review process… I think next month we will try to identify the real reasons that could explain this particular 2026 result,” he added.
