Seven senior BJP leaders and ticket aspirants resigned from the party in Cachar district’s Udharbond constituency, protesting the decision to award the party ticket to Rajadwip Gowala, a former Congress MLA they described as an “outsider.” The resignations, announced just before the upcoming Assam assembly elections, mark a sharp public rebuke from long-serving local workers who say they were bypassed in favour of a recent defector.
The seven leaders who quit named themselves as Basudev Sharma, Shamu Roy, Nabarun Chakraborty, Jayjyoti De, Hemang Shekhar Das, Bishwajit Das and Kanchan Singh. They collectively voiced strong dissatisfaction with the party’s candidate selection, saying it ignored veteran BJP workers who have labored for the party at the grassroots level.
Speaking to the media, the protesting leaders said they could not accept an “outsider” being chosen as the Udharbond candidate while longtime party workers were denied a chance. They accused the BJP of abandoning its founding principles and of prioritizing short-term electoral gains over the party’s core ideals and loyal cadres.
Several of the resigning leaders appealed to the party’s legacy, saying they had worked inspired by the ideals of former leaders such as Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani. One resigning member, speaking emotionally, charged that the BJP was becoming a rehabilitation centre for corrupt Congress leaders and warned that those who sacrificed most during the party’s difficult years were now being rendered politically irrelevant.
The mass resignations have once again highlighted internal unrest within the ruling party at a sensitive moment ahead of the state polls, underscoring local friction over candidate choices and the broader challenge of balancing defectors’ ambitions with the expectations of longstanding party workers.
