Another senior Assam Congress leader, Rana Goswami, quit the party on Wednesday tendering his resignation from his positions as vice-president of APCC and an active member of the Indian National Congress.
In his resignation letter addressed to General Secretary (Organisational) KC Venugopal, Goswami wrote, “I am tendering my resignation as the working President of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee and as an active member of the Indian National Congress.”

Speculations about Goswami’s switch to the BJP have been rife despite his vehement denials. His resignation validated all such speculations.
However, Goswami has yet to make an official statement about his future plans or the possibility of joining the BJP.
Earlier on Tuesday, state Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma described Rana Goswami as a “powerful” politician and hinted at his potential move to the BJP.
