Guwahati: Assam Congress leader Juri Sarma Bordoloi on Friday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at its party headquarter in Hengrabari.
Other than Juri Sarma Bordoloi, 50 members of the Guwahati committee of Congress joined the saffron party.
Bordoloi joined BJP in the presence of its state party President Bhabesh Kalita and Pijush Hazarika.
It may be mentioned that Bordoloi resigned from the Assam Congress on the same day when Rupjyoti Kurmi resigned from his post as MLA.
While joining the party, the former Congress leader expressed deep “anger” against the party’s leadership.
Bordoloi further added that the Congress Party is in a deep dilemma regarding the CAA issue as well.
“People do not want Rahul Gandhi as their leader. We lost the last election for this very reason,” said Juri Sarma.
While addressing the people regarding the concerned issue, the Congress leader also added that many other skilled and deserving leaders had left the party.
