The alleged anti-party activities of three of its MLAs have triggered resentment within the Congress party in Assam.
The three MLAs are Rekibuddin Ahmed, who represents the Chaygaon Assembly seat, Bhaskar Jyoti Baruah from Titabar, and Abdul Batin Khandakar of Abhayapuri North.
Mr. Baruah and Mr. Khandakar came under fire after participating in the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government’s Amrit Kalash Yatra on October 2. Mr. Ahmed, believed to be close to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has been accused of leaking party secrets to the BJP.
