During a recent statement, Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, hinted at the possible defection of state Congress Chief Bhupen Borah to the BJP in the near future. Sarma expressed his belief that apart from a select few, most Hindu leaders within the Congress party would eventually depart. He specifically mentioned Borah as someone who might transition to the BJP soon.
Sarma emphasized the validity of his assertion, stating that he possessed credible information to support his claim. He underscored his reliance on reliable sources, asserting that he wouldn't make such statements without substantial evidence. Sarma hinted at receiving indications regarding Borah's potential crossover.
Furthermore, Sarma highlighted a trend wherein Congress members who had been critical of him eventually joined the BJP. He recounted instances where Congress leaders, after publicly criticizing him, reached out privately, attributing their previous remarks to external pressure. Sarma implied a pattern of individuals who had initially opposed him finding a political home within the BJP.
In essence, Sarma's remarks pointed to a broader narrative of political realignments and transitions within the Assam political landscape, suggesting potential shifts in party affiliations.
