Bhupen Borah Resigns, Cites Gogoi's 'Pakistan Link' Row & Congress Image Hit

• Former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Borah resigned, citing concerns over party functioning and allegations against APCC President Gaurav Gogoi.
• Borah's resignation letter to Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi highlighted the 'damaging impact' of BJP's 'Pakistan link' allegations against Gogoi.
• He stated that Gogoi's 'hesitation and equivocation' deepened public misgivings and 'gravely impaired' the Congress party's image.
• Borah also questioned his 'marginalisation' by Gaurav Gogoi and Rakibul Hussain, blaming Gogoi's 'highhandedness' for his decision.
• The resignation comes ahead of Priyanka Gandhi's Assam visit and is a major setback for Congress before the Assembly polls.
