Guwahati: Another major jolt came knocking for the Assam Congress, when Gauravv Somani, president of All India Professionals’ Congress, resigned from all the party posts and from the primary membership of the Congress party on Saturday.
The primary reason for the resignation is the “unsatisfactory leadership” presently within the Assam Congress.
In a letter to the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Bhupen Borah, Somani wrote, “One of the primary reasons for my decision is the unsatisfactory leadership presently within the Assam Congress, which has regrettably failed to effectively address the pressing issues faced by the people of our state. Despite our collective efforts and dedication, the leadership’s inability to formulate and implement strategic solutions to tackle the myriad challenges confronting our constituents has been disheartening. Time and again, the voices and concerns of the people have gone unheard, as the party leadership has struggled to provide meaningful solutions and initiatives that resonate with the aspirations of the masses.”
Previously, Somani had served as the vice chairman of the Hindi-speaking Development Council in the Government of Assam and had risen through the ranks of the party from the grassroots level.
There are also reports coming in that say that Somani may soon join the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).
