Guwahati, Aug 1 (TIWN) Two-time Assam Congress MLA, Sushanta Borgohain, who quit the party on Friday, joined the ruling BJP on Sunday.

He is the second legislator to switch over to the BJP after Rupjyoti Kurmi, who won the Mariani Assembly seat for the fourth straight time earlier this year.

“His joining will strengthen the party immensely,” Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said, welcoming Mr. Borgohain, who has been among the most vocal critics of the BJP.
