Overview

  • Romen Chandra Borthakur, Assam TMC president, filed a police complaint alleging threatening WhatsApp messages from vice-president Dulu Ahmed and his aide Sanjib Mahanta, citing concerns for his safety.
  • Dispur Police Station is investigating the complaint and may register an FIR after verifying evidence, with Borthakur requesting police protection and further action from the party's central leadership.
  • Dulu Ahmed countered the accusations, alleging Borthakur misused over Rs 15 lakh of party funds meant for panchayat poll campaigns in key Lower Assam districts.
  • Ahmed also accused Borthakur of secretly engaging with senior Congress leaders, including Harish Rawat, to undermine the TMC's growth in Assam, a claim Borthakur denies.
  • The public feud has reportedly demoralized grassroots workers, raising concerns about the party's cohesion and readiness for the 2026 Assam Assembly elections.
