Political Tensions Rise as Bhupen Borah Considers Resignation Withdrawal Amidst BJP Invitation
- On Monday, Bhupen Kumar Borah resigned from the Congress, emailing his resignation to the high command at about 8 am, alleging he was `ignored` and blamed Gaurav Gogoi's favouritism.
- Bhupen Borah had been engaged in stitching regional alliances for years, but resigned last week after a limited role in alliance talks, signaling internal marginalization.
- Sources say Borah sent his resignation to Mallikarjun Kharge, but the high command has not accepted it, and Jitendra Singh is mediating efforts to resolve the dispute.
- Himanta Biswa Sarma predicted more defections, saying four to five MLAs may join soon, as Borah's resignation is a `symbolic message` about Congress's condition.
- With polls in a couple of months, Borah's resignation could disrupt alliance talks he had been leading, impacting the Congress's electoral prospects in Assam.
