India Today
Former Assam Congress chief and Rajya Sabha MP Ripun Bora took to Twitter on April 17 to announce his resignation from Congress.
I had hoped that the Congress party would prevent BJP's dominance, but instead Congress in all states, from bottom to top, are fighting each other. As a result, the BJP is growing every day, said Ripun Bora while addressing his first press conference after joining the TMC on Tuesday.
Former Assam Congress chief and Rajya Sabha MP Ripun Bora resigned from the party and joined the TMC on April 17.
"I have categorically mentioned my reasons for leaving Congress in my resignation letter. I have differences of opinions on some ideological and strategic points. I have said nothing against the party, Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi," he said.
He added, "I am convinced that Congress will not be able to fight the BJP in the coming days. Only the TMC will be able to prevent the BJP."
Further talking about his plans, Ripun Bora said, "I've decided to organise the TMC in Assam. I will discuss with all classes of people and stakeholders. Our name in Assam will be 'Assam Trinamool Congress,'" he said.
