'Congress Has No Funds To Contest Assam Polls': Ex State Chief Joins BJP

In a significant political shift, former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Borah has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), citing the Congress party's lack of financial resources to effectively contest the upcoming Assembly elections. Borah's comments reflect a broader concern within the Congress regarding its prospects in Assam, where internal divisions and dwindling support have raised alarms about its viability as a contender. He expressed that the party's leadership is fully aware of its impending defeat. This development comes as the BJP continues to strengthen its foothold in Assam, capitalizing on the Congress's vulnerabilities. The BJP's growing influence in the region is evident, and Borah's defection is likely to further bolster their position ahead of the polls. As the political landscape evolves, the implications of Borah’s switch could resonate through the election cycle, potentially swaying undecided voters and further diminishing Congress's standing in Assam.
