Gohain’s switch comes less than a month after he resigned from the BJP on 9 October, expressing discontent with the party’s leadership and direction in the state. He had served as the Minister of State for Railways during the first Modi government and earlier led the BJP’s Assam unit.
His move ends a decades-long association with the BJP and places him firmly within a regional political framework that is expected to shape the discourse ahead of upcoming elections in Assam
