Margherita is an assembly constituency in Assam's Tinsukia district, part of the Dibrugarh Lok Sabha area, known for its coal mining history, tea estates, and industrial pockets. Bhaskar Sharma of BJP is the current MLA, elected in 2021 and re-elected from 2016. In 2021, he won with 86,640 votes (57per cent share), defeating INC's Manoranjan Borgohain (28,140 votes, 18per cent) by a margin of 58,500 votes. Infrastructure demands like better roads and flood control persist in this mining-tea hub, alongside unemployment beyond extractive industries. Environmental concerns from coal operations and youth migration for jobs challenge growth, with high voter engagement reflecting development aspirations.
