    Huge blow to BJP: Many leaders from Kokrajhar quit party, nearly 500 join BPF
    Kokrajhar district BJP secretary Saburna Baruah stated that the reason they left the party was because the BJP never gave grass-roots leaders and workers enough importance.

    Digital Desk: Several BJP leaders from Kokrajhar district have left the party one after another. Raj Kumar Brahma, the head of the Kokrajhar district of the BJP, was recently removed. He later became a member of the BPF. 

    Once more, on Thursday, 495 members of the BJP, UPPL, and Congress joined the BPF at the organization's central office in Kokrajhar. The secretaries of the Kokrajhar district BJP, Jasmin Brahma and Subarna Baruah, as well as the secretary of the Mahila Marcha, Dipali Brahma, also resigned from their positions. Vice President of the BPF Kampa Borgoyary and Assam Cabinet Minister Pramila Rani Brahma, who was also the former Deputy Chief of the BTC, greeted and felicitated them.

    Speaking with the media, Kokrajhar district BJP secretary Saburna Baruah stated that the reason they left the party was because the BJP never gave grass-roots leaders and workers enough credit. According to her, there were problems inside the BJP and that BJP EM Arup Kr Dey was using the members as puppets. 

    According to Baruah, the public expected Pramod Boro to lead the transformation of BTC, but instead he has been running BTC at the dictate of BJP. She also said that Boro had to follow BJP orders rather than being free to work on his own initiative.

    However, as approximately 500 BJP, UPPL, and Congress supporters joined the BPF on Thursday, Kampa Borgoyary, the vice president of the BPF and a former deputy chief of the BTC, claimed that the BJP's downfall had already started. Recently, he added, 1000 members of the Congress, BJP, KMSS, and UPPL had joined the BPF at a joining programme conducted at Bathou-Kherai in Kokrajhar. He stated that since the BJP and UPPL have fallen short of their promises, the BPF will undoubtedly return to power.
