Ripun Bora resigned from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), saying that although he admired Mamata Banerjee`s leadership and hoped to fight the BJP in Assam through the party, he realized that the people of Assam view TMC as a regional party from Bengal and do not support it. Bora joined TMC in 2022, expecting it to help intensify the fight against BJP. However, he found that continuing with TMC would not be effective because the party is not accepted by the people of Assam. He felt that staying in TMC would be a waste of time and energy, and thus decided to leave in search of a more effective platform to challenge the BJP.
