Bhupen Borah Quits Congress, Confirms He Will Contest Assam Assembly Polls

Political uncertainty has deepened in the Assam Congress after senior leader Bhupen Kumar Borah confirmed his resignation and announced he will contest the upcoming Assembly elections independently of the party. Borah said he currently has no party affiliation and is considering offers from several parties, with a final decision expected soon. He criticised the Congress leadership, citing internal “mental torture” and questioning key alliance decisions. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma publicly invited Borah to join the BJP, saying his move could significantly impact Assam’s political landscape ahead of the polls.
