In a significant political development, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma extended an invitation to Bhupen Borah, the former state Congress chief, to join the BJP. This statement came shortly after Borah tendered his resignation from Congress, accusing the party leadership of ignoring him.
Sarma assured that Bhupen Borah, a two-time legislator, would be supported to contest from a 'safe seat' if he chooses to join the BJP. The Chief Minister underscored that BJP provides a platform for individuals from ordinary family backgrounds, contrasting it with Congress's dynastic approach.
Borah's resignation is seen as a blow to Congress, with Sarma claiming it reflects disenchantment with the party's politics. The Chief Minister plans to visit Borah, aiming to discuss future political avenues amid allegations of appeasement politics within Congress leadership.
