Prateek Bordoloi Withdraws from Margherita Seat After Father’s Exit

Congress candidate Prateek Bordoloi has withdrawn his candidature from the Margherita constituency, citing the “present circumstances” after his father Pradyut Bordoloi joined the BJP.

In a letter to Mallikarjun Kharge, he said the decision was taken to avoid confusion among voters and party workers and to maintain a clear political stand.

He noted that continuing in the current situation could impact the party’s prospects. The move follows his father’s resignation from Congress, which he described as a difficult decision.
