Gogoi lost in the [[2021 Assam Legislative Assembly election|2021 Assam Legislative Assembly Election]] against BJP candidate Mrinal Saikia. She criticised the election commission for the violence in the election. She stated "election is not above human life. If anyone can't give life, he also has no right to take other's life," while pointing at the BJP's Khumtai MLA Mrinal Saikia. Gogoi alleged that the Election Commission is yet to take any action against incidents of elected-related violence reported on a daily basis in her constituency.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-03-23 |title=Assembly elections 2021: Congress leader seriously injured in another attack by BJP workers in Assam |url=http://nenow.in/north-east-news/assam/assembly-elections-2021-congress-leader-seriously-injured-in-another-attack-by-bjp-workers-in-assam.html |access-date=2022-04-23 |website=NORTHEAST NOW |language=en-US}}</ref>
