Former Assam Congress chief Ripun Bora on Sunday joined the Trinamool Congress, bringing an end to his over four decades long association with his former party.
In his letter to party president Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Bora alleged that a section of senior leaders in Assam were fighting against one another instead of the BJP.
“I am very pained to inform you that it is an open secret in Assam that instead of fighting against the BJP, a section of seniormost leaders of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee have been maintaining secret understanding with the BJP govt, mainly with the Chief Minister,” Mr. Bora said in his letter.
