Advocate Hasina Rahman Choudhury Congress Ticket Aspirant for South Karimganj 2026
Advocate Hasina Rahman Choudhury has emerged as one of the most recognized faces in South Karimganj’s political landscape, especially as the Indian National Congress ticket aspirant for the 2026 Assam Assembly Elections. Her name resonates with both grassroots activists and educated youth, primarily because of her long association with student politics and activism before officially joining Congress. Rahman started her political career nearly 15 years ago with the Student Federation of India (SFI) and later became actively engaged with the CPI(M). Over the years, her consistent involvement in protests, movements, and social causes made her a visible figure in Barak Valley politics.
Her recent transition to the Indian National Congress is not a sudden move but the result of growing discontent with the ruling BJP government’s alleged misgovernance and anti-people policies. In the interview, she clarified that her decision to join Congress was motivated by a larger mission: to unite opposition forces against BJP’s policies and to safeguard democratic values. Rahman stressed that she does not see politics as a mere electoral ambition but as a platform to fight for justice, rights, and the voice of marginalized communities.
Over the last decade, she has stood beside common people in their struggles—whether it was raising concerns about delimitation issues that reduced constituencies in Karimganj, or protesting against legal amendments like the controversial Waqf Act changes. She also gained recognition when she raised her voice after the 2023 Hamsafar Express incident, where a passenger was attacked, proving her commitment to justice even beyond her own constituency.
Rahman’s grassroots activism, legal advocacy for women and poor communities, and strong public outreach through social media have placed her among the top contenders for the 2026 Congress ticket. With Assam Pradesh Congress President Gaurav Gogoi’s new candidate criteria focusing on clean records, public service, and active resistance to BJP, Rahman believes her track record positions her as a strong and deserving aspirant BK BLOGS
Advocate Hasina Rahman’s Role as a Social Activist
Advocate Hasina Rahman’s political identity is deeply rooted in activism and social service rather than only electoral ambitions. As a professional lawyer in Karimganj, she has dedicated her career to supporting underprivileged communities, women facing domestic issues, and marginalized groups who lack access to legal assistance. In her interview, she shared how her legal practice gave her direct exposure to people’s struggles, which strengthened her resolve to enter politics full-time.
In the last few years, Rahman has led multiple people’s movements (Jan Andolans) across South Karimganj. During the ration distribution crisis in 2024, when supplies failed to reach several rural households, she organized protests under a non-political banner uniting both Hindus and Muslims. This not only highlighted her secular and inclusive approach but also demonstrated her ability to mobilize masses across community lines. Despite facing police intimidation, threats, and even physical attacks allegedly from ruling party-backed groups, Rahman continued her fight and received coverage from leading outlets like India Today, Prag News, and regional media.
Her fight against delimitation injustices, which reportedly reduced Muslim representation in Karimganj by cutting down one seat, also showcased her political courage. She repeatedly emphasized that politics must remain people-centric, not limited to leaders or party lines. Her participation in awareness campaigns against Waqf Act amendments further connected her with minority groups who see her as a strong defender of their rights.
By combining her legal expertise, grassroots activism, and social media presence, Rahman has created a reputation as a people’s candidate. Her critics often argue that she faces competition from senior leaders like Advocate Hafiz Rashid Ahmed Choudhury, Advocate S. Thapadar, and former MLA Azizur Rahman Talukdar, but Rahman insists that her commitment to people’s causes distinguishes her. For her, politics is not a personal competition but a collective struggle against injustice, which is why she consistently refuses to comment negatively on fellow Congress aspirants
The 2026 Assam Assembly Elections and Hasina Rahman’s Vision Congress Candidacy Criteria & Her Political Positioning
With the 2026 Assam Assembly Elections approaching, South Karimganj has become a focal point for political observers. The Indian National Congress is actively restructuring under the leadership of Assam Pradesh Congress President Gaurav Gogoi, who introduced a new set of criteria for ticket distribution. Candidates must demonstrate:
A clean public record without corruption.
Strong grassroots connections and public engagement.
Active involvement in movements against BJP’s misgovernance.
Educational background and leadership credibility.
Advocate Hasina Rahman aligns herself strongly with these requirements. Her 15 years of political activism, role in student politics, legal career, and social movements reflect a deep connection with the people. Unlike others who entered politics only during election seasons, Rahman argues that her struggles predate the 2026 race, making her campaign authentic and people-driven.
While several other aspirants—including Advocate Hafiz Rashid Ahmed Choudhury, Advocate S. Thapadar, Advocate Momtaz Begum, and former Congress leaders who recently rejoined—are considered heavyweights, Rahman emphasizes that the final ticket should be awarded based on merit and grassroots credibility. She believes that people’s voices, not political dynasties or influence, should determine Congress’s future candidates.
Her interview also underlines a long-term commitment beyond elections. Even if she does not secure the 2026 ticket, Rahman asserts that her fight for justice will continue until her last breath. She vows to keep working for women’s rights, minority representation, and economic justice for South Karimganj’s rural poor, regardless of her political position.
By blending activism, law, and politics, Hasina Rahman represents a new generation of Congress leadership that Assam Pradesh Congress aims to nurture. For voters, especially in South Karimganj, her journey provides an alternative vision: a politics of service, justice, and uncompromising resistance against oppression
