Expelled Assam Congress leader Angkita Dutta has said that “truth will come out” in regards to her allegations against Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Srinivas BV.
“The truth will come out. My complaint was not against the party but against an individual named BV Srinivas, who misused his powers,” 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.
“I 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,” she said.
Dutta added: “I will continue doing my social work till the party understands my issues and takes a more considerate view of my situation.”
