Former AASU President’s BJP Move Sparks Controversy and Accusations of Betrayal

The decision of former All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) President Dipanka Nath to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has stirred controversy, drawing accusations of extreme betrayal from AASU’s chief advisor, Samujjal Bhattacharya. Expressing disappointment, Bhattacharya emphasized that Nath’s move was undisclosed to AASU officials, and the majority of AASU members remain dedicated to societal service, with only a small fraction opting for political affiliations. Over 700 members from various organizations, including Dipanka Nath and Prakash Nath, joined the BJP in Guwahati, raising questions about the political trajectories of former AASU leaders.
