Over 600 BJP members, including three-time MLA Jagat Singh Ingty, have joined the Congress in Assam's two hill districts. The Congress sees this as an opportunity to regain its lost stronghold in the region. The joining of these leaders is considered a milestone for Assam PCC chief Bhupen Borah, who has been successful in countering the BJP in the last KAAC election. The Congress criticized the BJP for neglecting burning issues and eroding the power structure of KAAC.
