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.

In Assam, political unrest has followed a recent decision by the state assembly. The assembly decided to cancel a two-hour break for Namaz, which had been set aside to ease government work. This move was approved by all MLAs. Tejashwi Yadav, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, criticized Assam’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, calling him the ‘Chinese version of Yogi’—a reference to Indian Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Yadav’s comment implies a negative comparison between the two leaders. In response, Chief Minister Sarma dismissed Yadav’s remarks, stating that his administration will continue its work regardless of criticism. He emphasized that the focus should remain on progress rather than reacting to comments.
