DAYS AFTER Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra left the Congress, the party’s working president, Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha, resigned from his post Wednesday, while “extending support” to the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led BJP government’s “developmental work”. Congress Mangaldoi MLA Basanta Das also announced his support to Sarma, with the Chief Minister meeting the two Congress leaders soon after.
