Following Congress’s crushing defeat in Assam assembly elections, senior party leader Jitendra Singh on Monday stepped down as the party’s general secretary in-charge of the state, taking responsibility for the outcome.
In his resignation letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Singh said it would be better for the organisation to have new leadership and a fresh approach going forward.

“I write to tender my resignation as General Secretary In-Charge of Assam with immediate effect. The recent election results have been deeply disappointing, and I take full responsibility for my role in the outcome,” Singh said.
“Despite our best efforts, we were unable to meet the expectations of the people of Assam whom we sought to serve. It is in the best interest of the organization that I step aside to allow for fresh leadership and renewed direction,” he stated.
The Congress leader also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve, thanking the people of Assam and party workers for their support. “I thank the people of Assam, as well as the Congress workers and leaders of Assam, for the love and respect they have shown me.” “I remain committed to the values and vision of the Congress party and will continue to support the party’s efforts in any capacity deemed appropriate,” he further wrote in the letter.
NDA Set To Form Govt For Third Time
Meanwhile, the ruling NDA is poised to return to power in Assam for a third consecutive term after securing a comfortable two-thirds majority in the 126-member Assembly. The BJP won 82 seats, while its allies, including the Bodo People’s Front (BPF) and the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), secured 10 seats each, taking the alliance tally to 102.
While the Congress managed to secure only 19 seats, and in a significant setback, its state president, Gaurav Gogoi, lost the Jorhat seat to BJP leader Hitendranath Goswami by 23,181 votes.
