Former Congress leader Bhupen Kumar Borah formally joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at its Guwahati headquarters. After 32 years with Congress, Borah cited a divergence from the party’s ideals as his reason for leaving. The event was attended by state BJP president Dilip Saikia and national vice president Baijayant Panda, who welcomed him. Borah predicted that many other Congress members would follow suit and join the BJP, suggesting that it would benefit them as they face decisions during the upcoming Assam Assembly elections. His departure marks a notable shift in the political landscape, as Borah aims to serve the people with renewed commitment. His move has been seen as a significant boost for the BJP prior to the elections.
