He was a finance minister in the Assam state cabinet twice and a member of the Assam Legislative Assembly from Dibrugarh constituency.
Gogoi was born into a family of Tai-Ahom. He was married to Shanti Gogoi in 1951. His wife was the daughter of Padma Kumari Gohain, one of the first female MLAs in Assam, as well as one of the first female state ministers in Assam.[3] His wife was also the daughter of Jogesh Chandra Borgohain, who was an MLC in the 1930s. Gogoi was an advocate at Gauhati High Court and a practitioner in Dibrugarh district court, as well as being a social worker before his entry to politics.[4]
Gogoi became the MLA for Dibrugarh for the Janata Party in 1978. He became a minister in the Golap Borbora and Jogendra Nath Hazarika cabinets, before switching to congress where he then became a finance minister under Anwara Taimur. He was made Chief Minister of Assam on 13 January 1982, but he later resigned amid a motion of no confidence vote. He later became a minister in the Hiteswar Saikia cabinet before he was removed for alleged anti-party activities. His political career ended in the year 1996 and he died in 1998.[5]
