Assam Assembly Elections 2026 | Jayanta Das Quits BJP, Says Assam Unit ‘Version Of Congress’
Jayanta Kumar Das has resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party after being denied a ticket from the Dispur constituency and is now contesting as an independent candidate. His entry has intensified the electoral battle, posing a challenge to BJP candidate Pradyut Bordoloi, while Meera Borthakur adds strength to the Congress contest. The veteran leader has sharply criticised the Assam BJP leadership, even claiming the party has become “a version of Congress”. The development sets up a high-stakes triangular contest in one of Assam’s most crucial seats.
