In a major political development, senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Rajen Gohain resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on October 9, 2025, along with 17 other members in Assam.
Gohain, who has been a key figure in Assam politics for over two decades, submitted his resignation at Bajpayee Bhawan in Guwahati, the state BJP headquarters. His exit is being viewed as a significant blow to the party, given his long association and deep influence in the Nagaon region.
