The EC has formerly again transferred an invite to the Congress for a meeting hereafter before the full platoon leaves for Delhi from Guwahati.
Ahead of the delimitation of constituencies in Assam, the full platoon of the EC led by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar arrived in Guwahati on Sunday on a three- day visit to hold consultations with stakeholders, including political parties and civil societies.
The Assam Congress had earlier met the EC in Delhi and asked them about the interpretations and the irregularities regarding quarter political boundaries. They told us they would meet our queries and we also gave them a memorial. We’re staying for a reply, Congress MLA and Assam Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia said.
Now they’re only giving 10- 15 twinkles and we do not suppose meeting them will be of any use, Mr. Saikia said. EC sources said they’ve formerly given time to the Congress delegation ahead of everyone differently at the very morning in Delhi on January 4.

The Congress again sought time from the EC on March 22 for a meeting to which the EC replied that since it would visit Assam in the coming days, they would meet the congressional delegation in Guwahati.
Individual response isn’t a practice and, in any case, can not be given in connection to the delimitation exercise without hearing all the stakeholders, an elderly EC functionary said.
Responding to the EC’s assignation, 10 recognized public and state political parties and 76 civil society organizations, public representatives and non-recognized political parties met the EC in Guwahati moment, the functionary said.
Other opposition parties AIUDF and Trinamool Congress in their unrestricted- door meetings with the EC have raised expostulations about the process, including the Assam National Register of Citizens( NRC), the timing of the delimitation exercise ahead of the 2024 general election and apprehensions that it might alter boundaries of Muslim- maturity constituencies.
Delimitation was on hold since the NRC wasn’t completed and all political parties had that time taken an agreement. Indeed now the situation remains the same as Assam NRC isn’t final. It has not been notified, so we do not know if the 19 lakh people left out from the NRC will figure in the choosers’ list or not, Assam Trinamool Congress principal Ripun Bora said.

The delimitation exercise for redrawing the territorial boundaries of the assembly and administrative constituencies of Assam, grounded on the 2001 tale, had been stuck 14 times. The last delimitation in Assam was done in 1976.
The intention of the government isn’t clear. The entire country will have delimitation in 2026. So why is Assam having it now? We feel there’s a conspiracy against some communities so that they do not have proper representation in congress and assembly, said AIUDF general clerk Aminul Islam.
The government’s performance is veritably good. There was delimitation during the Congress government as well. It isn’t a new process, Assam BJP prophet Rupam Goswami said.
