Assam Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi Quits Party, Likely To Join BJP

Senior Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Pradyut Bordoloi resigned from the Congress on Thursday, fueling speculation that he may soon join the BJP. In a letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Bordoloi expressed "overwhelming sadness" over his decision to quit the party.

The resignation is a significant political development ahead of the Assam assembly polls and comes days after former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Kumar Borah also quit the party, raising fresh questions about the organisation's functioning under state unit president Gaurav Gogoi.
