Humiliated, sidelined within Cong: Pradyut Bordoloi on why he joined BJP

GUWAHATI: (Mar 27) Pradyut Bordoloi, a two-term MP from Assam who recently crossed over to the BJP, has alleged that he felt neglected, isolated and unwelcome in the Congress.

A Congress member for more than five decades and the chairman of the manifesto committee for the Assam Assembly polls, Bordoloi is contesting the state election on a BJP ticket from Dispur.

In an interview with PTI, Bordoloi claimed that a succession of wounds had built up, and it perhaps started during the Congress organisational election in 2022.
