Pradyut Bordoloi's Triumphant Journey to Dispur

Pradyut Bordoloi, after leaving Congress for BJP, won the Dispur constituency in Assam's assembly election, defeating Mira Barthakur Goswami by 49,667 votes. Previously a minister and Lok Sabha member, Bordoloi has a long political career, switching parties ahead of the Assam polls.

Pradyut Bordoloi marked a significant political milestone by securing a win for the BJP in the esteemed Dispur constituency, defeating Congress rival Mira Barthakur Goswami in a decisive victory with a lead of 49,667 votes, according to the Election Commission's official results.

This victory adds to Bordoloi's storied political journey, which includes serving as a three-time minister in the Tarun Gogoi government and representing the Margherita constituency since a bypoll in 1998. His tenure as minister ended in the 2015 cabinet reshuffle, after which he served as a senior spokesperson and advisor to the chief minister.

The political veteran switched allegiance from the Congress to the BJP before the Assam assembly elections, resigning from his Lok Sabha seat representing Nagaon. His successful election campaign in Dispur highlights a new chapter in his political career aligned with the BJP.
