The sitting MLA of Birsing Jarua, Wajed Ali Choudhury of the Congress, is facing very high anti-incumbency, driven by accumulated public dissatisfaction after four consecutive terms, persistent complaints of inaccessibility, and the absence of visible development on the ground.
Residents across the constituency say the MLA is rarely accessible and largely operates from outside the area, leading to a perception of weak engagement with local issues. Many describe the constituency as effectively lacking active representation, citing minimal development activity during his tenure.
Public feedback also points to strained relations between the MLA and constituents, with voters saying electoral support in the past has been rooted more in party loyalty than in individual performance. There is a growing sentiment that the constituency requires renewed leadership to address long-standing grievances.
Despite this, broader political considerations may continue to influence voter behaviour. However, ground sentiment indicates that dissatisfaction with Wajed Ali Choudhury’s performance remains deep and widespread.
