GUWAHATI: Following reports of resentment among grassroots-level workers over the joining of Congress leaders, the BJP’s Assam president, Ranjeet Kumar Dass, clarified that it is the cadres that build the party, not leaders.
“The party needs cadres, not leaders. Lakhipur MLA Rajdeep Gowala, who was suspended from Congress for indulging in anti-party activities, will join the party soon and after that, we will close the door for all. Joining as a cadre, however, will continue,” Dass said. He added that besides Gowala, no one else has ever approached him regarding joining the saffron camp and he, too, does not want bad elements from the Congress flooding the party.
