Among the aspirants seeking Congress tickets for the 2026 Assembly elections there’s a person accused of Love Jihad. This individual is Aman Wadud, considered a close associate to Gaurav Gogoi. Aman Wadud is a strong contender to be the Congress candidate from the Samaria constituency. Because of his closeness to APCC President Gaurav Gogoi, efforts are reportedly being made to almost ensure a ticket for him.
However, this leader who aspires to represent an important constituency like Samaria is facing allegations of Love Jihad. After marrying a Hindu woman, accusations of Love Jihad have been raised against Aman Wadud. As soon as Aman Wadud’s name surfaced, unrest has reportedly spread among Trinamul Congress workers in the Samaria constituency.
Will the Congress party give priority to someone like Aman Wadud, who is accused of Love Jihad? Gaurav Gogoi has entrusted Aman Wadud with responsibilities in the APCC IT Cell. By giving importance to leaders like Aman Wadud, is Gaurav Gogoi trying to encourage or support Love Jihad?
It has also been alleged that after marrying the Hindu woman, Aman Wadud kept her away from all social media platforms. Photos of Aman Wadud with almost all top Congress leaders have surfaced. From Priyanka Gandhi and Gaurav Gogoi to Jitendra Singh, the alleged “brand ambassador of Love Jihad,” Aman Wadud, is said to share close relations with them.
Now it appears that the biggest qualification for getting a Congress ticket is Love Jihad. By trying to give a ticket to Aman Wadud, who is linked to such allegations, Gaurav Gogoi seems eager to defend this decision strongly.
