Former AASU Leader and Congress President Joins BJP in Assam

In a significant development, Shankar Prasad Rai, former AASU leader and ex-Bongaigaon Congress president, has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The move, marked by his resignation from the Congress citing “personal reasons,” occurred in the presence of Assam BJP State President, Bhabesh Kalita. Rai’s political shift adds to the growing trend of defections in the state.
