Rakibul Hussain Asserts Dominance in Assam Congress; Appoints Son Tanzil Hussain as Youth Congress Vice-President

Assam: Senior leader and MP Rakibul Hussain has once again demonstrated his absolute control over the internal affairs of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC). In a development that highlights his growing political clout, Hussain has successfully positioned his son, MLA Tanzil Hussain, as the Vice-President of the Assam Youth Congress. ​Political observers view this move as a textbook example of nepotism and dynastic politics, cementing Hussain's grip on the state unit. This development comes close on the heels of the appointment of Wajed Ali Choudhury, a prominent representative of the Miya Muslim community, as the Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly—a move widely believed to have been orchestrated by Rakibul Hussain himself. ​It is worth noting that Tanzil Hussain entered the Assam Assembly as an MLA following a series of unilateral decisions made by his father during the elections. Following his electoral success, his quick elevation to the top ranks of the Youth Congress organizational setup has raised eyebrows within the party, sparking intense debates over the unilateral decision-making style of the veteran leader
