Congress Workers in Behali Threaten Mass Resignation Over CPI (M-L) By-Poll Ticket

Congress grassroots workers in Behali have threatened to resign if the CPI (M-L) is given a ticket for the upcoming by-polls. In a letter to the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), Behali Youth Congress President Zahirul Islam expressed strong opposition, citing CPI (M-L)’s significant loss in the 2021 elections. The workers demand that a Congress candidate be fielded instead, warning that the BJP would win otherwise. Speculation suggests internal turmoil within the Asom Sonmilito Morcha, potentially leading to APCC chief Bhupen Borah’s resignation.
