Borah added that Ripun Bora did call the CM but that does not mean that he or the Congress went to him for support. “It’s a protocol. MPs can call CMs and there is no big deal. The CM too invited the MPs including Ripun Bora for dinner but we did not make any controversy out of that”, he added.
He added that Ripun Bora did not “roan around” asking for votes.
