Pradyut Bordoloi resigns from party

way2barak March 17: Pradyut Bordoloi, Congress MP from Assam’s Nagaon Lok Sabha constituency, has resigned from the party, delivering a significant setback ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in the state. He submitted his resignation to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.

“With an over whelming sense of sadness today, I hereby tender my resignation from all posts, privileges and the primary membership of the Indian National Congress,” the post read.
