BREAKING: Major Blow to Congress in Assam as Bhupen Kumar Borah Steps Down from Party

Guwahati: In a significant political development in Assam, senior leader Bhupen Kumar Borah has resigned from the Indian National Congress, marking a fresh setback for the party in the state. 

Borah, who previously served as president of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), formally submitted his resignation, bringing an end to his long association with the party. A two-term MLA from the Bihpuria constituency, he had been at the forefront of the Congress’s organisational efforts in Assam over the past few years. 

His departure comes at a politically sensitive time, with the party attempting to consolidate its position and strengthen alliances ahead of forthcoming electoral battles in the state. The resignation has sparked speculation within political circles about internal differences and strategic disagreements over the party’s direction in Assam.

Sources within the state unit indicate that Borah’s decision follows a period of introspection within the Congress after a series of electoral setbacks. While the former state chief has not publicly detailed the reasons behind his move, party insiders suggest that differences over leadership and campaign strategy may have played a role.

The development is being viewed as a challenge for the Congress, which has been working to revive its organisational base in Assam amid stiff competition from rival parties. Borah was considered a key figure in the party’s efforts to reconnect with grassroots workers and strengthen district-level structures.

Political observers believe his exit could have wider implications for opposition dynamics in the state. As the Congress reassesses its strategy, attention will now turn to how the party leadership responds and whether it can contain potential fallout ahead of the next electoral contest.
