Congress has suffered another setback in Assam. MLA Bharat Chandra Nara resigned from Congress on Monday. The MLA from Naoboicha has sent his resignation to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. “I resign from the Indian National Congress with immediate effect,” Nara wrote.
Bharat Nara was angry over his wife not getting a ticket
Earlier, Bharat Nara had left the post of chairman of the party’s media cell in Assam. He was angry over his wife Rani Nara not getting a ticket for the Lok Sabha elections. “I resign from the Indian National Congress with immediate effect,” he said in a one-line resignation letter sent to Kharge. Bharat Nara was elected to the Assembly six times on Congress ticket. He won from Dhakuakhana constituency continuously from 1985 to 2011 and also served as a cabinet minister in the state. In 2021, he moved to Naoboicha seat of Lakhimpur district and was again elected on Congress ticket.
Rani Nara was a strong contender for the ticket
This time Rani Nara was a strong contender for the ticket on Lakhimpur seat of Assam. She has won from this Lok Sabha constituency thrice and was also elected to Rajya Sabha once. The Congress leader also served as a Union Minister in the Manmohan Singh-led government at the Centre. However, this time Congress has fielded Uday Shankar Hazarika from Lakhimpur seat instead of Rani Nara. He left BJP in December last year.
