Why Ex-Chief of Assam Congress Bhupen Borah Quit Party. The Inside Story

Former Assam Congress president Bhupen Borah's resignation has created a stir in the party just ahead of Priyanka Gandhi's maiden visit to Assam. His exit raises questions about the party's internal dynamics and challenges in the state ahead of upcoming elections. Borah, who held significant influence within the party, cited dissatisfaction with the leadership and a lack of direction as reasons for his departure. This unexpected move reflects broader issues within the Congress party in Assam, which has struggled to maintain unity and momentum in the face of increasing competition from regional and national parties. As the party gears up for crucial elections, Borah's resignation could signal potential fractures that may impact its performance in the state. Observers are closely watching how Congress will respond to this setback and what it signifies for the party's future in Assam.
