Congress Faces Major Defections Amid Assam Assembly Election Preparations

As the Assam assembly elections near, the Congress party faces turmoil. Senior leader Pradyut Bordoloi's defection to BJP signifies deeper issues within the party. Criticism arises from various political figures, underscoring challenges Congress confronts, both in Assam and nationally, as concerns over leadership and internal dynamics persist.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey claimed that the Congress party is nearing its demise following a significant defection in Assam. Congress suffered a blow as senior leader Pradyut Bordoloi resigned and joined the BJP, setting the stage for ongoing challenges ahead of the state assembly elections.

Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) chief Upendra Kushwaha criticized Congress for its perceived mismanagement in Bihar, questioning its strategy and leadership amidst internal turmoil. He pointed out that the party's inability to appoint leaders or whips post-elections signifies a deeper crisis within.

BJP MP Manan Kumar Mishra echoed concerns over Congress' stability, suggesting a loss of control over its members. Bordoloi's resignation, citing internal mistreatment and personal integrity, highlights the fractures within Congress as Assam's elections promise to be a battleground for both BJP and Congress.
