Guwahati: Assam first chief minister Bharat Ratna Gopinath Bordoloi’s granddaughter and daughter of Congress leader Robin Bordoloi, Ashima Bordoloi resigned from the party on Saturday.
Resigning from the party, Ashima Bordoloi said that she quit the party with deep sorrow.
Addressing the media after resigning from the party, Bordoloi said, “The Congress party has used the title ‘Bordoloi,’ but they have not provided the true respect.”
She further claimed that the party did little to assist her during the assembly election. She also expressed her discontent with the party’s work.
“The party doesn’t pay any significance to the party member. The party doesn’t pay any respect to the members if they don’t get money,” Bordoloi alleged.
When asked if she plans to join the BJP or another political party, Bordoloi stated that she has not yet made up her mind.
The people who worked for the party were not identified by Congress. They used my father’s title but did not provide any assistance, she added.
Bordoloi, a former councilor of Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC), served as the Secretary of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee.
