Priyanka Gandhi expressed disappointment over the resignation of Assam Lok Sabha MP Pradyut Bordoloi from the Congress, calling it “unfortunate” and “truly regrettable.” Bordoloi, who had a long association with the party, submitted his resignation to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge amid internal dissatisfaction allegations.
The resignation has garnered attention within the party, with Purnia MP Pappu Yadav acknowledging its significance. He highlighted the potential impact such developments could have during elections, emphasizing the need for the party leadership to address the situation seriously.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi raised concerns over leaders from the Congress defecting to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). She expressed worry about the trend of Congress leaders being lured away, emphasizing the need to address this issue.
Samajwadi Party spokesperson Ashutosh Verma speculated on possible reasons behind Bordoloi’s resignation, citing lack of respect within the Congress or external pressures as potential factors. He noted a trend of opposition leaders shifting towards the BJP in recent years, highlighting the evolving political landscape.
Bordoloi, in a letter to Mallikarjun Kharge, announced his decision to step down from all party responsibilities, citing an “overwhelming sense of sadness.” While the reasons for his exit were not explicitly stated, sources suggest internal dissent and changing political dynamics in Assam played a role.
