Expelled Assam Congress leader Angkita Dutta has said that โ€œtruth will come outโ€ in regards to her allegations against Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Srinivas BV.

โ€œThe truth will come out. My complaint was not against the party but against an individual named BV Srinivas, who misused his powers,โ€ former Assam Congress leader Angkita Dutta said.

Moreover, Dutta clarified that she has no plans to join the BJP, saying that she is hopeful of a recall by the Congress party.

โ€œI come from a family which has been with the Congress over four generations. I am fully aware of my duties and responsibilities towards the Congress. I was brought up on the ideals that the Congress was founded on,โ€ she said.

Dutta added: โ€œI will continue doing my social work till the party understands my issues and takes a more considerate view of my situation.โ€
