AIUDF MLA to join BJP soon: Bhabesh Kalita
Guwahati: All India United Front Democratic Front (AIUDF) MLA, Phanidhar Talukdar is likely to join the Bhartiya Janta Party on August 21.
The claim was made by the state president of the BJP Bhabesh Kalita. After two Congress MLA’s Rupjyoti Kurmi and Sushanta Borgohain joined BJP, now AIUDF MLA Phanidhar Talukdar is all set to join the saffron party soon.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had also claimed that Phanidhar Talukdar contacted him several times and showed his interest to join BJP.
It may be mentioned that MLAs resigning as well as shifting from their posts have resulted in several assembly constituency seats turning vacant. Among the 126 assembly constituencies, six constituencies have now become vacant and will soon opt for the by-election.
