The State BJP is preparing public rallies and meetings in full swing to increase its organizational strength for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections in 2024.
Former Assam minister and expelled Congress leader Ajanta Neog along with two ex- legislators in the state joined the BJP on Tuesday. Besides Neog, another expelled Congress MLA Rajdeep Goala and former Bodoland Peoples Front (BPF) lawmaker Banendra Mushahary switched over to the BJP in the presence of North East Democratic Alliance convenor Himanta Biswa Sarma and the saffron party s state unit president Ranjeet Dass. Neog said she joined the BJP with an open-mind and no pre-condition and promised to work with sincerity to realise the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the party s state leadership. Neog, who was a close confidante of former Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and part of his cabinet, said she had entered into politics after her husband was killed by militants and served the people of the state and the Congress.
