Congress says Bhupen Borah withdrew resignation, he says 'sought time to reconsider' - What we know so far

Former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Kumar Borah on Monday submitted his resignation to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, but withdrew it just hours later. Bhupen Borah has reportedly sought time from Congress high command to ‘reconsider his decision’.

Earlier in the day, Borah, in his letter to Kharge, had claimed was being “ignored” by the party leadership and was not being given his due role within the state unit, reported PTI, citing sources.

Borah told reporters in Guwahati that he sent his resignation to the Congress high command at 8 a.m in the morning, mentioning in detail why he took the step.

‘’I don’t want to say anything more than this. I will invite mediapersons at an appropriate time and give all the details. I don’t hide anything and will not take any step in secrecy,’’ he said. Borah said he has not ‘’resigned from the party due to any particular person or any personal reason’," reported PTI.
