Assam BJP Leaders Call Rajen Gohain's Exit 'Unfortunate'
A long-time leader named Rajen Gohain decided to leave the BJP political party and join a different one called AJP.
Some important people from the BJP, like Ranjeet Dass and Jayanta Mallabaruah, said they were sad and surprised he left.
They explained that the BJP had given him many chances and was a strong party that was growing bigger.
They felt he should have talked about his problems inside the BJP instead of leaving.
They also mentioned that the BJP has lots of members and is well-organized, so his leaving won't hurt the party.
Rajen Gohain joined AJP because he wasn't happy with how the BJP was working and felt it wasn't paying enough attention to their region.
Former Union Minister Rajen Gohain has left the BJP to join the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP).
Senior Assam BJP leaders Ranjeet Kumar Dass and Jayanta Mallabaruah expressed disappointment and surprise over Gohain's decision.
Dass highlighted Gohain's long association and contributions to the BJP, calling his exit 'unfortunate for him'.
Mallabaruah stated that Gohain received significant trust and empowerment from the BJP and should have raised concerns internally.
Both leaders believe Gohain's departure will not impact the BJP's strength in Assam due to its organizational discipline and growing membership.
