LIVE | After Borah, Bordoloi jolt for Congress in Assam

Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi's defection to the BJP has dealt another blow to the party chief, Gaurav Gogoi, ahead of the Assembly polls. Bordoloi, who was the chairman of the Congress manifesto committee for the April 9 Assembly polls, joined the BJP on Wednesday, barely a day after quitting his party. In a one-line resignation letter addressed to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday, the MP said, "With an overwhelming sense of sadness today, I hereby tender my resignation from all posts, privileges, and the primary membership of the Indian National Congress." The two-term Lok Sabha MP's exit, a month after former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Kumar Borah joined the BJP, is not merely a personal decision; it signals dissatisfaction among senior leaders and underscores a perceived leadership vacuum. Is Congress collapsing in Assam? Why is the central leadership looking helpless?
