Assembly Elections 2026: Election Commission of India Deploys Over 1,000 Central Observers

Pradyut Bordoloi, a Member of Parliament representing the Congress party from the Nagaon Lok Sabha seat in Assam, has announced his resignation from the party. This decision comes in the wake of disagreements with the State Congress president, Gaurav Gogoi, regarding the selection of candidates for the upcoming elections in the Laharighat Assembly constituency.

Bordolois departure underscores ongoing tensions within the party as it approaches a crucial electoral period. Candidate selection has emerged as a contentious issue, reflecting broader challenges the Congress party faces in consolidating its base in Assam. The Laharighat constituency is considered vital for the party’s performance in the state.

In recent months, the Congress party has been striving to strengthen its position in Assam, where it has contended with increased competition from regional parties and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Bordoloi’s exit may further complicate the partys strategy as it prepares for the upcoming elections.

Further reactions from party leaders and local constituents regarding his resignation are expected in the coming days as political dynamics continue to evolve.
