Guwahati, Jan 13: The Congress party is undergoing a notable shift as it prepares for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Apurba Kumar Bhattacharjee, who served as the general secretary and senior spokesperson for the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), has chosen to step down from his role. This decision carries particular weight given the party’s recent setbacks in the state assembly elections.

The timing of Bhattacharjee’s resignation is crucial, occurring in the aftermath of consecutive defeats in the state assembly elections and signaling a period of introspection and restructuring within the Congress ranks.

The catalyst for this move can be traced back to January 7 when Bhattacharjee expressed his disappointment on social media.

In a message directed to @JitendraSAlwar, he underscored his omission from the Assam Pradesh Election Committee list prepared by the All India Congress Committee.

His tweet read, “Respected @JitendraSAlwar Sir. After watching the list I have decided to stop all my activities as I’m not qualified for a member. Ready to pack my luggage. Regards.”

Subsequently, Bhattacharjee announced his formal resignation from the Indian National Congress, Assam, scheduled for January 14. He plans to address the media at the Guwahati Press Club in this regard.

As Assam gears up for the Lok Sabha elections, the selection of the new chief becomes a pivotal decision for the Congress party. The chosen leader will play a crucial role in defining the party’s campaign strategy and its ability to resonate with the electorate in Assam.

The resignation of Bhattacharjee marks a period of transition for the Congress party, signaling the need for strategic recalibration and a fresh approach in the political landscape of Assam.
