Addressing thousands, Gogoi launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

Speaking from the stage, Gogoi said he wanted to speak informally with the people and asserted that Assam is headed for a decisive battle this time. Referring to people saying they are ready to wait not just one-and-a-half hours but even three hours, he said the message from the ground is clear-people want the Congress. "Wherever we go, people welcome us-youth, women look to us with trust, and elders bless us," he said.

Gogoi alleged that Himanta Biswa Sarma believes power rests only with him and that everything must happen according to his wishes as long as he remains Chief Minister. "Such arrogance, such audacity," he said, adding that the people of Assam will show he is not a decisive factor.

Raising questions over the BJP government taking loans worth ?1.5 lakh crore, Gogoi said the government has become debt-ridden and has no money to borrow. "To raise money, liquor shops have been opened across Assam and toll gates set up everywhere. Land premiums have been increased through Basundhara for the same reason. Traffic fines have been raised to generate revenue. Government schools are being shut because there is no money to pay teachers' salaries," he alleged.

Calling Sarma's political journey opportunistic, Gogoi said he began with AASU, then moved to the Congress to save himself, and later jumped to the BJP again for self-preservation. "The day the BJP loses power, he will jump again and want to return to Congress. But should we take him back? The people say no-and so will we," Gogoi said. "If he is such a big politician, let him sit in the opposition once. His courage will vanish in a second."

Recalling conversations with senior leaders, Gogoi referred to the late former Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's relationship with Himanta Biswa Sarma. He said Tarun Gogoi treated Sarma like a son, protected and supported him, but was ultimately betrayed. "Tarun Gogoi later regretted it," he said, adding that Sarma would also betray Sarbananda Sonowal-something that was proven in 2021 when Sonowal was sidelined despite winning the mandate.

He also alleged that the Chief Minister's wife has purchased land in Majuli. "We will go to Majuli to see the land bought by 'Mami'," he said. Contrasting this with his own family, Gogoi said his late father, a three-time Chief Minister, never bought companies in his son's name, opened channels in the family's name, or acquired tea gardens. "But Himanta Biswa Sarma has 17 companies in his son's name," he alleged, while youths remain unemployed and migrate to Arunachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala for daily wages.

Gogoi further accused the government of promoting liquor and syndicates, shutting government schools while being busy opening private schools, and linked Sarma's name to cases such as Louis Berger, Saradha, Gir cow scam, TADA cases, and the Manavendra Sarma murder. "There is no heinous act where his name does not figure," he alleged.On land issues, Gogoi said people are not getting land under Basundhara and alleged that while some land brokers are being arrested, the biggest land broker is sitting in Dispur. He warned that 40,000 bighas of tribal land are being handed over to Adani-Ambani and Patanjali.

Calling for a new "Greater Assam," Gogoi said Tarun Gogoi had kept Assam united and on the path of development, but today the state is witnessing uncivil, arrogant, and fear-driven politics. "In the Greater Assam we envision, Assamese people will be progressive and productive," he said, lamenting the closure of tea, jute, and silk industries and the plight of small contractors.

Accusing the BJP of attempting voter deletions, Gogoi urged people to check the Election Commission website, download voter lists, and verify deletions, deaths, or transfers. He alleged that living people are shown as dead and even government BLOs are marked deceased. "Elections will come and go, Congress may win or lose, but the BJP's greed for power is such that it wants to misuse the election process," he said, alleging BJP presence in election offices and inaction despite FIRs.

On the issue of justice for Jubin Garg, Gogoi alleged close links between Himanta Biswa Sarma and Shyamkanu Mahanta, claiming that after an aide of Sarma met Shyamkanu, the bail plea was withdrawn. "As long as Himanta Biswa Sarma remains Chief Minister, Zubeen Garg will not get justice," he said, calling for standing firm like Kanchenjunga in the fight for justice.

Senior Congress leader Bhupen Bora also addressed the rally, recalling the BJP's 2016 vision document promises-protecting land and identity, flood and erosion control, employment, farmers' income, workers' wages, and the 'last battle of Saraighat'-and said none were fulfilled. He urged party workers to take the BJP's failures to the people.

AICC Secretary and APCC Co-incharge Manoj Chauhan said no one can save Himanta Biswa Sarma's government this time, asserting that the people of Assam are ready to vote for Congress. APCC observer Bandhu Tirkey said Assamese people are simple and self-respecting, recalling former CMs Hiteswar Saikia and Tarun Gogoi, and predicted a major change in the upcoming elections. Former Union Minister Pawan Singh Ghatowar called on party workers to stand united and fight the elections decisively.

Former Union Minister Rani Narah, former MP R.P. Sharma, Working President Rojelina Tirkey, Chhattisgarh leader Vinod Verma, Vice President Ghan Burhagohain, APCC Media Department Chair Bedabrata Bora, General Secretary Premlal Gunju, Shailen Sonowal, and several other senior leaders were present.
