Assam TMC President Ripun Bora on Sunday resigned from the party claiming that TMC is perceived as a regional party of Bengal and his suggestions to the party have been unaddressed.
He said that the people of Assam are not willing to accept a party that they perceive as being from another state and therefore he was compelled to make a ‘difficult decision’ to disassociate from the party.
