Tinsukia, Aug. 9 -- In a move seen by political analysts as a strategic effort to connect with Assam's cultural history, Jorhat MP and state Congress president Gaurav Gogoi visited Tinsukia on Saturday to pay tribute to Swargadeo Sarbananda Singha.

Gogoi took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his experience, stating, "Paid floral tribute to Swargadeo Sarbananda Singha-the great Matak king who, in 1805, established the autonomous Matak Kingdom with its capital at Bengmara (now Tinsukia).

A visionary leader, he promoted cultural harmony, strengthened Assam's trade, and upheld justice for his people. His steadfast leadership and dedication to the welfare of all continue to inspire our path forward."
