Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has accepted the resignation of Pradyut Bordoloi as Member of Parliament from Assam, in a move that comes just weeks before the state heads into Assembly elections.
According to official communication, Bordoloi’s resignation from the Lok Sabha has been accepted with effect from March 20. The development follows his recent exit from the Indian National Congress and subsequent joining of the Bharatiya Janata Party, marking a significant political shift in the state’s pre-election landscape.
A two-time MP from the Nagaon constituency, Bordoloi is a seasoned political figure who previously served as a minister in the Assam government under former Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. His move to resign from Parliament is being seen as part of a broader strategy to actively participate in state-level politics.
Soon after switching sides, the BJP fielded Bordoloi as its candidate from the high-profile Dispur Assembly constituency. His entry into the contest is expected to intensify electoral competition in one of Assam’s most politically significant seats.
The resignation also creates a vacancy in the Nagaon parliamentary constituency, adding another dimension to the evolving political scenario in Assam. With the Assembly elections scheduled for early April, Bordoloi’s transition from national to state politics is likely to influence campaign narratives and party strategies in the days ahead.
Political observers note that such high-profile defections and resignations could play a crucial role in shaping voter perception as parties gear up for a closely watched electoral battle.
