Anti-incumbency is emerging as a serious challenge for Assam Assembly Speaker and BJP MLA Biswajit Daimary in Bhergaon, where voter dissatisfaction is being driven by weak public outreach, stalled development works and adverse signals from recent local elections.
Bhergaon was created after the delimitation exercise, replacing the earlier Panery constituency and significantly altering its political composition. The redrawing of boundaries raised expectations of renewed political engagement and administrative focus, but ground-level feedback suggests these expectations remain unmet.
Residents across several villages allege limited accessibility of the Speaker, with routine constituency matters often handled by intermediaries rather than through direct engagement. In a newly formed constituency, this perceived distance has become a persistent grievance. 
Development delivery has further fuelled discontent. Foundation stones for projects valued at around ₹200 crore were laid nearly two years ago in the erstwhile Panery region. However, many of these works remain incomplete, with delays and lack of visible progress eroding public confidence.
Electoral trends from the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) elections have added to the pressure. The BJP’s poor performance in areas overlapping the present Bhergaon constituency has been widely viewed as an early indicator of weakening grassroots support.
Taken together, the combined impact of post-delimitation realignments, limited public engagement, stalled high-value projects and unfavourable local election outcomes has turned anti-incumbency in Bhergaon into a visible political factor.
As Assam moves closer to the next Assembly elections, Bhergaon is shaping up as a constituency where voter judgement may hinge on performance and accessibility rather than political stature alone.
