Bora accused him of misleading the public by claiming that Gaurav Gogoi was present at a function at a Pakistani University.
According to Bora, many other people from the Pakistan Embassy were present with Gaurav Gogoi at the event, but the Chief Minister has denied this fact and given it a new form to the matter.
Regarding Bobita Sarmah’s resignation, Bora indicated that the party would discuss the matter internally.

In a measured response to comments made by Pabitra Margherita about Gaurav Gogoi, Bora showed personal respect while maintaining party discipline.
Bora concluded with a clear demarcation stating "Let him do BJP’s work, we will do ours". The statements signal Congress’s readiness to consolidate under new leadership while preparing for electoral battles ahead, with Ripun Bora positioning the party as a unified force ready to challenge the ruling BJP in Assam.
