over 36 resigned congress after gulam nabi azad

Guwahati: A letter from the All India Congress Committee (AICC) may have brought to light a brewing internal rift in the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee as it has revealed that many state Congress leaders are choosing to keep themselves away from the state’s ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
In the letter, undersigned by AICC member and senior Congress leader Jitendra Singh, the president of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), Bhupen Kumar Borah, has been directed to draw up a list of party leaders who skipped the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, Assam. “I have been joining the Yatra from time to time and have noticed that some APCC office bearers, executive members, DCC, block president, OBs and leaders have neither attended this Yatra nor have not made any efforts to make this historic march a success,” Singh wrote in his letter.
“Kindly prepare a list of such office bearers/ executive members/ leaders and submit it immediately after the Yatra ends on December 15,” Singh directed the APCC president in his letter.
Citing the AICC letter, the Congress’ state unit has issued a letter to all leaders and executive members of the APCC, saying that AICC general secretary Singh and APCC president Borah were not satisfied with the non-participation of some state party leaders in the ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
“If anyone does not participate in the Yatra for some reason, he/she needs inform the APCC president in writing,” read a letter issued by Ramanna Baruah, general secretary (Administration), APCC.
APCC’s working president Jakir Hussain Sikdar told ANI, “Some leaders, executive members and district level leaders of the party have not participated in the Yatra.”
