PRADYUT’S DEFECTION
Pradyut Bordoloi’s resignation from the Congress deepened the party's crisis in Assam ahead of the Assembly elections. Bordoloi, the sitting MP from Nagaon, said he was "feeling suffocated" and was being "humiliated". His exit came less than a month after former Assam Congress president Bhupen Kumar Borah also joined the BJP.
In his resignation letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Bordoloi wrote, "With an overwhelming sense of sadness today, I hereby tender my resignation from all posts, privileges and the primary membership of the Indian National Congress." Before quitting, he was the chairman of the manifesto committee for the Assam elections.
After joining the BJP, Bordoloi told ANI that there was no single reason behind his decision. He said he felt suffocated and humiliated. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said Bordoloi's decision was linked to internal disagreements over ticket distribution and described it as unfortunate.
