Guwahati: The mass joining ceremony for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which was scheduled to take place on October 8 in Assam has been cancelled.
Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah was supposed to attend the joining ceremony. Numerous Congress officials were slated to join the BJP on that day.
The joining ceremony has been cancelled due to internal strife within the Congress and rumours that party leader Pranjal Ghatowar would be defecting to the saffron party.
It may be mentioned that Amit Shah will arrive in Guwahati on October 8 accompanied by BJP national president JP Nadda, according to a statement from the state unit of the party.
The statement said that they will address BJP leaders and workers in Assam at a mass gathering to be held in Khanapara. A whopping 40 thousand party members and state leaders will be present at the enormous gathering.
