Big Blow to Congress: Bhupen Bora Set to Join BJP Before Assam Polls | News9

Описание: In a major political development ahead of the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, senior Congress leader Bhupen Bora is set to join the Bharatiya Janata Party, marking a significant shift in the state’s political landscape. Bora, who has been with the Indian National Congress for over 32 years, served twice as an MLA and was Assam Congress president from 2021 to 2025.

Sources suggest Bora may contest the 2026 Assembly elections on a BJP ticket, possibly from Bihpuria or Rangandi constituencies. His move is being seen as a major setback for the Congress, especially among the indigenous Hindu Assamese—Khilanjia—community in Upper and North Assam. Party insiders fear his exit could impact prospects in nearly 45 Assembly seats, posing a serious challenge for Congress in the state’s Hindu belt.
