Ripun Bora wrote in his resignation letter, “I do hereby tender my resignation from the post of President, Assam Pradesh Congress Committee owing responsibility of the humiliating defeat of my party in the Assam Assembly Elections 2021”.

“…we were unable to combat the divisive and communal politics played by the BJP and the RSS,” he added. 

“I pledge to continue my fight as a dedicated Congressman to uphold the ideology and values of the Indian National Congress,” Ripun Bora mentioned in his resignation letter. 

The Rajya Sabha MP Ripun Bora lost in the Assam Assembly elections 2021, on Sunday.

I congratulate all the wining candidates of @INCAssam & #Mahajot.
I courageously accept the verdict of the people. We fought till the end.
I would also like to thank all those who supported me.

But we will continue our fight for peace, democracy and secularism.#JaiAaiAxom.
