Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi on midweek united the Bhartiya Janata company (BJP) in the presence of chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, a day after resigning from the party.He also clarified that his resignation from the party was due to “multiple issues” and not as a result of a ticket allocation for the upcoming polls."For me, getting a ticket was not a question of life and death. There were multiple issues. What was important for me was to hold my head high. The Congress party has given me a lot," he told the media. "I want to make it very clear that I am in my second term in Lok Sabha, and there are another three years to go. I could have accepted the humiliation if I wanted to remain as an MP. But I decided to leave and work," he added.Congress terms it ‘unfortunate’Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that Bordoloi's resignation was unfortunate and added that differences over ticket allocation may have led to the decision."I think he was upset over ticket allocation, and I wish we had a chance to have a conversation, it is unfortunate," Vadra told reporters inside the Parliament House complex.
