Strong dissatisfaction over the failure of successive governments to fulfil promises made to indigenous communities was voiced on the second day of the mid-term conference of the All Assam Ahom Sabha, held at Bholaguri in the Khumtai constituency of Golaghat district.
Speaking as the honoured guest, Chao Bijoy Rajkonwar, president of the Tai Ahom Yuva Parishad, said governments led by the AGP, Congress and BJP had repeatedly failed to safeguard the interests and rights of Assam’s indigenous communities. He said assurances were made at different times, but these promises did not translate into real action on the ground.
Rajkonwar said the Ahom community had shown patience for decades despite repeated commitments by ruling parties. He added that the time had come for the community to reassess its political position and collective strength. According to him, the Ahoms continue to play a decisive role in several constituencies in Upper Assam, yet their voice has not been adequately reflected in decision-making processes. 
Highlighting the political importance of the region, he pointed out that out of the 43 Legislative Assembly seats in Upper Assam, the Ahom community has decisive influence in at least 26 constituencies. He urged community organisations to recognise and use this strength in a practical and democratic manner.
Calling upon the All Assam Ahom Sabha, Rajkonwar stressed the need to create a strong and united platform to guide a movement aimed at asserting political power in an organised way.
The conference also saw the presence of senior political figures, including Atul Bora, Mrinal Saikia, former MLAs Bismita Gogoi and Jiten Gogoi, along with Roselina Tirkey, who attended the event.
Senior leaders, youth representatives and community members from across Upper Assam took part in the discussions, which focused on social, political and cultural concerns of the Ahom community and the broader challenges faced by indigenous groups in the state.
