Nandita Das

Nandita Das became publicly active in Assam politics in the period leading up to the 2021 Assam Legislative Assembly elections, following her involvement with party-level activities of the Indian National Congress in the hill districts of the state. Her political engagement was shaped by constituency outreach and participation in local organisational work within Bokajan.

In 2021, she was nominated by the Indian National Congress as its candidate from the Bokajan Assembly constituency, a seat located in Karbi Anglong district. During the election campaign, she focused on constituency representation, regional development, and engagement with local communities. She won the election and entered the Assam Legislative Assembly for the first time.

After her election in May 2021, Nandita Das began her legislative tenure as a first-time MLA. During the 2021–2022 Assembly sessions, she participated in debates and discussions related to state governance and constituency-specific issues. Her initial period in the Assembly was focused on understanding legislative procedures and representing local concerns from Bokajan.

Between 2022 and 2024, she continued to serve as a sitting MLA, maintaining regular contact with constituents and taking part in Assembly proceedings. Her political role during this period remained centred on legislative participation and constituency engagement rather than executive or ministerial responsibilities.

During 2024–2026, Nandita Das continued her term as Member of the Assam Legislative Assembly from Bokajan. She remained active in Assembly sessions and party-related activities within the Congress legislative wing.

As of 2026, she continues to function as an elected MLA, contributing to Assam’s legislative process through representation and participation.
