Lone winner from Congress in BTC joins BJP

Dec. 14: Congress really seems to have a bad time in the politics of Assam. After its dismal performance in the recently concluded Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) polls, its lone winning candidate Sajal Kumar Sinha joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday. Sinha joined the BJP in the presence of NEDA Convenor and BJP heavyweight Himanta Biswa Sarma and Lok Sabha MP Pallab Lochan Das at Hotel Lily in Guwahati.

Sajal Sinha won on a Congress ticket from the Srirampur seat just two days ago. Meanwhile, the UPPL-BJP is all set to form the BTC government with Pramod Boro as the Chief Executive Member (CEM). The oath-taking ceremony will take place on Tuesday.
