Pijush Hazarika, a senior BJP leader from Assam, is seeking another term from Jagiroad in the 2026 Assam Assembly Elections.
He currently serves as Minister for Water Resources, Information & Public Relations, and Parliamentary Affairs in the Assam Cabinet.
Hazarika has been a member of the Assam Legislative Assembly since 2011, first winning from Raha and later representing Jagiroad in the 2016 and 2021 elections.
He is married to Aimee Baruah, an Indian actress, producer, and director, who has won three National Film Awards.
With the BJP aiming to return to power for a third consecutive term, Hazarika's successive wins from Jagiroad reflect both his growing political influence and the party's expanding support base in the constituency.
