Congress Faces Setback in Karimganj as MLAs Rally Behind BJP; Internal Strife Erupts

The political landscape in Karimganj takes a turn as the Congress party’s prospects dim with both MLAs openly declaring support for the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha election. Simultaneously, internal turmoil rocks the district committee, with disgruntled workers locking the party office doors after the APCC working president Jakir Sikidar’s absence from a scheduled meeting. While District President Rajat Chakrabarty clarified the cancellation, the situation reflects a loss of control within the organization.

Expelled South Karimganj MLA Siddeque Ahmed, despite planning to join the AGP in the future, announces his support for BJP candidate Kripanath Mallah, citing the double engine governments’ dedication to development. Ahmed expects significant Muslim voter support for the BJP, emphasizing the party’s commitment to overall progress. Meanwhile, North Karimganj MLA Kamalakha Dey Purkayastha, distancing himself from Congress, reaffirms support for the BJP government on developmental grounds after resigning from the post of APCC working president. The Congress party faces a challenging landscape in Karimganj with internal divisions and prominent figures aligning with rival parties.
