The 3Gs were propped up to be Himanta Biswa Sarma’s Achilles’ heel in Upper Assam. Not only were the trio expected to bring their followers together, they were also looking to consolidate the Ahom community votes. However, the delimitation had also sliced the influence of the Ahoms by banking on the older loyalties and alliances within the community.
Akhil Gogoi’s Raijor Dol contested from 13 seats, Lurinjyoti Gogoi’s Assam Jatiya Parishad contested from 10 seats.
The 3Gs rejected Himanta Biswa Sarma’s infiltration narrative and sought to wrest power based on a more inclusive state.
