Debabrata Saikia (Assamese: দেৱব্ৰত শইকীয়া; born 14 December 1964) is an Indian politician serving as the Leader of Opposition in the Assam Legislative Assembly since 2016.

He became the Indian National Congress candidate for Nazira in the 2011 Assam Legislative Assembly Election.

In the 2016 Assam Legislative assembly election, Debabrata Saikia was able to retain his seat comfortably as an MLA from Nazira Constituency after a big storm of PARIBARTAN created by BJP.

[4] According to a popular blog platform DailyO from the India Today Group, Debabrata Saikia is the smartest choice for Congress in Assam, because of his low profile and measured visibility has managed to keep him politically fresh in the public psyche.

With a motto to "Bring SMILE" in association with YSW (Youth for Social Welfare) Saikia conducted Free Plastic Surgery Camps jointly with Interplast Germany, a global humanitarian organization.

He also conducts some free distribution programs of items of necessity to people below the poverty line in many minority and tea-belt areas.

[10] In his early days, before entering politics, he used to conduct awareness programs for various self-help groups for their development and operations.

Currently, Mr. Saikia has launched a new initiative called JAGARON (www.jagaron.in) to connect the people from all over the state and to listen to their day-to-day problems.
