Assam Youth Congress working president Poritush Roy resigns from party

Digital Desk: Poritush Roy, the Working President of the Assam Pradesh Youth Congress, officially submitted his resignation from the party on Saturday, marking yet another blow to the Congress party.

Notably, this move comes just after another well-known quit the party, Suresh Borah, the former President of Nagaon District Congress, also parted ways with the party.

Poritush Roy addressed the Indian National Congress national president expressing his dissatisfaction with the internal operations of the party. He stated, "I would like to let you know that I would not be able to continue in this organization, as it is favoring only Blue Blooded people. It is now felt that the voice of people like us who come from lower strata of society is not heard in this organization. While working in this organization, I have realized that, from Dispur to Delhi, this organization prefers Family First and Nation Last".

The resignation of both Poritush Roy and Suresh Borah holds particular significance as they have both expressed a significant interest in joining the ruling BJP.

Earlier, Suresh Borah had resigned from both his job and the Congress party's primary membership. The fact that he left with a sizable following highlights the effect that these resignations have had on the local political scene.
