'More Congress Leaders Will Join': Assam's Bhupen Borah After Meeting Amit Shah

In a significant political shift in Assam, former Congress chief Bhupen Borah has declared his intention to join the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the upcoming elections. Following a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Borah hinted that more Congress leaders would likely follow suit and switch allegiance to the BJP. This development comes amid growing speculation about the BJP's strategies for retaining power in the state, where political dynamics have been rapidly changing. Borah's departure from Congress is indicative of the challenges the party faces in consolidating its position in Assam, a state that has seen a considerable rise in the BJP's influence over the past few years. The meeting with Shah, a key figure in the BJP's campaign efforts, underscores the ruling party's commitment to expanding its base in Assam as it prepares for the electoral battle ahead. As the political landscape evolves, observers will be keenly watching how these changes impact the Congress's prospects and the overall voter sentiment in the state.
