Which leaders called
He further said that Akhil Gogoi has told me that his doors are open for me. Lurin Gogoi has also called me. CM did not call me, but CPI(M) has called me. The Congress high command has also called me, but it is not a big deal. You know little about why I resigned, it all started from poverty. Bora further said that I have told the PCC Chief that if the Congress Party is not able to even decide who they want with them in the Majuli Yatra, then we will have to think about the future of the party.
Who is Bhupen Bora?
Bhupen Bora was the president of the Assam Congress unit from 2021 to 2025 and was replaced by Gaurav Gogoi last year. He has been MLA twice in Assam. Bora told reporters in Guwahati that he had sent his resignation to the Congress top leadership at 8 am.
Apart from this, former state president of Assam Congress Ripun Bora has also resigned from the party. News agency PTI gave this information quoting sources. Bora has been a big face of Congress in Assam and has also been a Rajya Sabha MP. He has informed his decision to the top party leadership, although the reasons for his resignation have not been officially confirmed yet. His resignation has come at a time when Congress is sharpening its preparations for the Assam elections.
