Tangla Assembly constituency is one of the 126 constituencies in the Assam Legislative Assembly, created as a new seat in the 2023 delimitation exercise. It is located in Udalguri district in the Bodoland Territorial Region and falls under the Darrang-Udalguri Lok Sabha segment. Tangla is a small town and railway junction serving as a commercial hub for the surrounding Bodoland communities.
The main political parties in Assam include the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), Bodoland People's Front (BPF), United People's Party Liberal (UPPL), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM).
As a newly created constituency, Tangla does not carry a direct 2021 result. Adjacent Udalguri (ST) in 2021 was won by UPPL's Gobinda Chandra Basumatari with 61,767 votes over BPF's Rihon Daimari by 4,851 votes — a closely contested Bodoland seat. In 2026, BJP fields Bikan Chandra Deka against Congress's Rohit Pariga for the inaugural Tangla constituency election.
The 2026 Assam Assembly elections will test Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's BJP-led government, which swept to power with a comfortable majority in 2021. With the opposition Congress-AIUDF combine seeking to consolidate anti-incumbency sentiment, every constituency will be a crucial battleground in deciding whether the state returns a second consecutive BJP government.
