00:00So clearly a big setback for the Congress ahead of the Assam Assembly elections.
00:05Congress, Lok Sabha MP Pradyudh Borduloyi resigned from the party, citing internal mistreatment and lack of support from the leadership.
00:13Borduloyi joined the BJP today in Delhi at the residence of Assam Chief Minister Himanth Biswasarma.
00:19Borduloyi's exit marks the end of a long-standing association with the Congress and is expected to impact political equations,
00:26especially in Upper Assam, where he has been a prominent figure.
00:31Borduloyi expressed emotional distress over his decision, stating he felt increasingly isolated and disrespected within the party.
00:40He emphasized that despite lifelong loyalty, internal challenges made it difficult for him to continue.
00:46Assam PCC Vice President Nabjot Talukdar also joined BJP along with him,
00:53signaling a broader shift within the Congress' ranks.
00:57This development follows a series of resignations in Congress recently,
01:01including former Assam Congress President Bhupen Kumar Bora,
01:05also joining the BJP after decades in the party.
01:10Today, probably this is one of the most difficult decisions I have taken in my life.
01:17It has not been a pleasant step for me because I had to go through a lot.
01:23But then I have taken this step not to seek power because you all know that I am on the
01:31second term of my Lukasabha tenureship
01:34and which would last another three and a half years till 29.
01:38But I have decided to give up everything because I need an atmosphere where I can hold my head high.
01:45Today, the sitting MP from Naugao, Sri Pordul Borduloyi, has joined Bharatiya Janta Party.
01:55Our state president, Sri Dilip Saikya, has welcomed him to the fold of our party.
02:02will definitely strengthen our party.
02:05We will be now more confident that we will be able to translate collectively
02:13the vision of a big-seat Bharat, big-seat Assam of Sri Narendra Modi into reality.
02:21I think he was upset over one ticket allocation
02:25and I think that I wish that we had had a chance to have a conversation about it.
02:29It's unfortunate.
02:30He took a decision which is his personal decision.
02:35This election is much more important than one person.
02:39This election is about freeing Assam from the clutches of Himantabishwa Sharma.
02:48Freeing Assam from Himantabishwa Sharma's politics of fear and intimidation.
02:54Freeing Assam from the Mafia Raj that has crept during Himantabishwa Sharma's tenure.
03:02He said,
03:32He said,
03:32So if the party is angry on the party, if Gorova Ji is angry, then he can talk about it,
03:38but for the election, there are 20 days when Gorova Ji said the name of the name of the party,
03:43it's wrong, it's wrong, with Gorova Ji, it's not angry with Gorova Ji,
03:56so here we go.
