Veteran Congress Leader Praneswar Basumatary Resigns Ahead of Assam Polls
Praneswar Basumatary, a long-serving member of the Indian National Congress, resigned from the party on Sunday. His departure follows years of service, including roles as an MLA and Vice-President of the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC).
Basumatary had been with the Congress for more than 25 years. During this time, he held multiple positions within the party, contributing to its activities in Assam. However, he recently stepped down from all party posts and even gave up his primary membership.
The decision came after Basumatary reportedly felt sidelined during the seat allocation process for the upcoming Assam Assembly election. His resignation is likely to weaken the Congress's organisational strength in the Sootea area, where he had been a key figure. No further details about the specific impact on the constituency or the broader election have been confirmed at this time.
Basumatary's exit leaves a gap in the Congress's local leadership. His departure may affect the party's campaign efforts in the region. The full consequences of his resignation will become clearer as the election approaches.
