“Dulu Gogoi has been under ventilation support as she suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage. Her condition is critical,” Uddip Jyoti Gogoi, All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) vice president, said earlier.
Lurinjyoti Gogoi, who was campaigning for his party candidate in Morigaon Assembly constituency, rushed to Dibrugarh to be with his mother after he got the news of her mother’s illness.
Lurinjyoti Gogoi is contesting the Assam Assembly election 2021 as a candidate of newly-launched regional party, Assam Jatiya Parishad from two Assembly constituencies.
Lurinjyoti Gogoi is contesting from Naharkatiya and Duliajan Assembly constituencies.
In Naharkatiya Assembly constituency, Congress has fielded former minister Pranati Phukan while Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded Taranga Gogoi.
In Duliajan Assembly constituency, the BJP has fielded sitting BJP MLA Terosh Gowala and Dhruba Jyoti Gogoi is the Congress candidate.
Lurinjyoti Gogoi resigned as the AASU general secretary to join the Assam Jatiya Parishad during the student body’s conference in Duliajan last year.
He was declared as the president of Assam Jatiya Parishad during a meeting of the party in Sivasagar.
