Lurinjyoti Gogoi To Establish AJP In Dibrugarh

Lurinjyoti Gogoi, the co-founder and the president of Assam Jatiya Parishad is contesting in the Dibrugarh constituency in the Lok Sabha Election 2024. In this election, he is up against the incumbent Cabinet Minister Sarbarnanda Sonowal of BJP.

From the student leader to the president of Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), he has carved himself into politics. His political aspirations found their root when he served as the General Secretary of the All Assam Students Union (AASU), where he played a key role in the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests in Assam.

His aspiration in politics found its shape through his establishment of Assam Jatiya Parishad in September 2020. He emerged as a distinguished leader in Assam’s political arena, holding the pivotal position of co-founder and president of the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) 

Diving deep into politics he stepped into the electoral fray for the 2021 Assam Assembly Election from Duliajan Constituency. In the 2021 assembly election, he secured a third position by securing 24,192 votes and he was defeated by Terash Gowalla of BJP, who secured 54,762 votes.  

Gogoi’s political philosophy is deeply anchored in regionalism, with a focus on championing the interests and ambitions of the Assamese people. His unwavering advocacy for regional rights has significantly shaped the political landscape of Assam.

Even though he didn’t win the election, his community work with the AJP focuses on local concerns and the Assamese community’s welfare. Key initiatives include enhancing infrastructure, healthcare, and power to improve living standards. He’s also working on the Assam Accord implementation, cultural preservation, and tackling issues like farmer welfare and youth unemployment. His dedication is shown through his active grassroots participation and commitment to regional development. Additionally, he is dedicated to the cultural preservation of Assam through the implementation of the Assam Accord, ensuring the protection of its rich and diverse heritage.

In this election, he is fielded against Sarbarnanda Sonowal of BJP, who is currently serving as the Cabinet Minister of Port, Shipping and Waterways of Assam and Cabinet Minister of Assam.  Rameshwar Teli of BJP won the 2019 election with a total of 659,583 votes.
