in Dibrugarh district’s newly created Khawang constituency, Lurinjyoti Gogoi conducted election rallies across several areas, including Bahoni Pathar, Sorkophala, Deodhai Gaon, and Huhungiya. During his campaign, Gogoi accused the ruling BJP of resorting to threats, temptations, and false promises in the name of Panchayati Raj to influence voters.`
He alleged that through schemes like Arunodoi, Amrit Brikshya, and Lakhpati Baideo, the BJP had been deceiving women voters, but expressed confidence that the people would reject the BJP in this election.

He called on the Union Home Ministry and Defence Ministry to ensure the safety and security of every citizen across the country and to take effective measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
Speaking to Pratidin Time, AJP President Lurinjyoti Gogoi said that his party has been able to file a considerable number of candidates, precisely in the upper Assam. “This is a good sign that people have come out to contest for AJP. We have filed our candidates after discussing with parties in the United Opposition, that is Congress and the Raijor Dal” Gogoi told Pratidin Time.
