However, AICC secretary Vikas Upadhyay rubbished the reports saying that the BJP is spreading rumours.
“Nobody is leaving the Congress. The BJP is misleading the people. All our MLAs are united,” said Vikas Upadhyay.
“There is no dissidence within the party,” Upadhyay added.
Meanwhile, speaking about the agendas that the Congress would focus during election campaigning, Upadhyay said that it would highlight the BJP Government’s failures in the State.
He further said, “We will get majority in the Assembly elections. Congress will form the Government in Assam.”
