Blow for Assam Congress as ex-chief joins TMC

Congress in Assam suffered a setback on Sunday when its former PCC president, minister and Rajya Sabha MP Ripun Bora joined Trinamool Congress in Kolkata, hours after sending a two-page resignation to party chief Sonia Gandhi. Bengal CM and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee now has three key politicians in the Northeast—Bora, former Meghalaya CM Mukul Sangma and Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev—to steer the party through the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and state polls in the region.
