Ex-Assam Congress Chief Bhupen Borah Quits, Alleges High-Handedness by Gaurav Gogoi
Former Assam Congress president Bhupen Borah has resigned from the party, accusing senior leader Gaurav Gogoi of favouritism and unilateral decision-making, triggering fresh turmoil within the state unit.
Former Assam Pradesh Congress Committee chief Bhupen Borah has stepped down, citing serious differences within the party’s state leadership. In his resignation, Borah accused senior Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi of “high-handedness” and favouritism, alleging that key organisational decisions were being taken without wider consultation.
Borah, who led the Assam Congress during a politically challenging phase, expressed concerns over what he described as centralized control and selective promotion within the party structure. His resignation has intensified speculation about factional divisions within the Assam unit ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
The development comes at a crucial time for the Indian National Congress as it attempts to strengthen its position in Assam amid strong competition from the BJP and regional parties. Political observers believe the leadership tussle could affect party unity and strategy in the state.
Party insiders indicate that the central leadership may step in to manage the situation and prevent further organisational fallout.
