A fresh political controversy has erupted in Assam after senior Congress leader Bhupen Borah\u2019s reported exit triggered sharp exchanges between the ruling BJP and the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Congress downplayed Borah\u2019s departure, stating that the party remains united and focused on strengthening its organisational structure ahead of upcoming political battles. However, the situation escalated when Congress leaders accused Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of allegedly leaking confidential internal communications to create instability within the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a strongly worded statement, Congress leaders referred to Sarma as \u201cAssam\u2019s Jinnah,\u201d a remark aimed at portraying him as someone attempting to divide political forces in the state. The comment has intensified political rhetoric, with BJP leaders calling it irresponsible and inflammatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Congress alleged that sensitive internal discussions were being selectively exposed in the public domain, claiming this was a deliberate attempt to damage the party\u2019s credibility. BJP leaders, on the other hand, dismissed the accusations, asserting that Congress was struggling with internal dissent and trying to deflect attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhupen Borah\u2019s reported exit has become a focal point in Assam\u2019s political landscape, especially as parties begin preparing for future elections. While Congress insists the party structure remains intact, political observers believe the episode reflects deeper churn within the state\u2019s opposition camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sarma has not directly responded to the \u201cJinnah\u201d remark but has continued to target the Congress leadership over governance and organisational issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political exchange signals that Assam\u2019s political temperature is rising well ahead of the next major electoral cycle, with both sides sharpening their narratives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
