Ex-Assam Congress Chief Bhupen Borah To Join BJP On Feb 22: Himanta Sarma

Bhupen Borah, the former president of the Assam Congress, is set to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on February 22, as confirmed by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Borah's departure from the Congress marks a significant political shift in Assam, reflecting ongoing realignments in the state's political landscape. His decision to leave the Congress comes amid increasing challenges for the party in Assam, where the BJP has emerged as a dominant force in recent years. Borah's move is expected to bolster the BJP's presence in the region and may influence other party members contemplating similar transitions. The BJP has been actively pursuing leaders from rival parties to strengthen its position ahead of upcoming electoral challenges. As Borah prepares for this new chapter in his political career, his impact on BJP's strategy in Assam will be closely monitored by both supporters and critics alike, underscoring the dynamic nature of Indian politics.
