New Delhi: With an eye on the crucial assembly polls in Assam after a year and with a string of defeats in the assembly polls almost everywhere, the AICC is considering revitalizing the long forgetting and never recognized North East Congress Coordination Committee (NECCC) to revive the party’s future in the remote region.

There was a time when Congress was in power all the seven states and even in Sikkim which later became the 8th member of the North East. But now barring Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur and Mizoram, the Congress is out of power in other states. The Congress has ceded power over two decades in Tripura and Sikkim. In the last Lok Sabha polls the century-old party did not do well in the region mostly due to internecine party squabbles.

NECCC is the apex body of Congress party in North East with all the Chief Ministers, PCC presidents and top leaders as its members. But in the AICC official website there is no mention of the vital body which was once headed by veterans like S.C. Jamir, now Governor of Odisha.
