ASSAM CM Himanta Biswas Sarma has represented the Jalukbari seat in Guwahati since 2001, when he defeated former home minister and a leading figure of the Assam agitation, late Bhrigu Kumar Phukan. Although Bidisha joined Congress around three years ago and has no prior experience in any other political party, she is trying to reach out to voters in small groups to create a space.
