Senior APCC Spokesperson Romen Chandra Borthakur Resigns Amidst Controversy
Desk Report, April 03, 2024: In a significant development within the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), senior spokesperson Romen Chandra Borthakur tendered his resignation from the party’s primary membership on Thursday. Borthakur’s departure comes amidst heightened anticipation regarding his potential candidature for the Guwahati Lok Sabha constituency in the forthcoming elections. Additionally, he had expressed a strong interest in contesting from the Darrang-Udalguri region.
In a formal gesture, Borthakur forwarded his resignation letter to the President of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), Bhupen Borah, marking a clear shift in his political allegiance.
However, amid Borthakur’s resignation, a new development emerged as he has received a show cause notice from the APCC. It has been alleged that Borthakur deliberately violated party discipline and engaged in activities detrimental to the party’s interests. The notice, issued by APCC general secretary Bipul Gogoi, requires Borthakur to respond within three days, providing justification for his actions and explaining why disciplinary measures should not be taken against him.
Borthakur’s resignation, coupled with the issuance of the show cause notice, underscores the evolving dynamics within the APCC ahead of the upcoming elections. His decision to step down from the party’s primary membership could potentially impact the political landscape in Assam, particularly in the context of his speculated candidature for key constituencies.
As the political scenario continues to evolve, stakeholders keenly observe the ramifications of Borthakur’s resignation and the ensuing developments within the APCC.
