‘Sidelined’, says Assam Cong MP, fuels buzz he too may quit party

GUWAHATI: Trouble brewed again for Congress in Assam as Nagaon MP Pradyut Bordoloi said he feels sidelined and humiliated in the party, triggering speculation that he may follow former state PCC chief Bhupen Kumar Borah and others who quit before assembly polls were announced, reports Kangkan Kalita. Bordoloi, a three-time cabinet minister, has written to the party high command alleging he was ignored in key organisational decisions and publicly undermined by colleagues. He accused party MLA Asif Nazar of backing a man allegedly involved in an attack on his convoy during last year’s panchayat poll campaign.
