Ahead of the 2023 Tripura Assembly elections, former ministers Sudip Roy Burman and Ashish Kumar Saha joined the Congress on Tuesday after meeting Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Delhi.
Burman and Saha on Monday resigned from the BJP and their MLA posts in the Tripura Assembly.
Burman was removed from the post of minister due to anti-party activities. BJP MLAs Barba Mohan Tripura and Diba Chandra Harangkhal were also present in the meeting. However, he has not yet joined Congress.
Burman told ANI after joining Congress, “Many MLAs are ready, but maybe they want to wait for a few more months due to technical reasons. Everyone is disillusioned with the party. I think Tripura, Gujarat and Himachal can go to the elections.”
According to reports, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress Tripura In-charge Ajay Kumar and state Congress president Birajit Sinha played a key in these resignations.
