In a major blow to the district BJP party in Bongaigaon, a total of 18 leaders have resigned from their respective posts alleging ‘dictatorial rule’ by the district BJP president Himani Adhikari and her husband Daniel Das.

The leaders who resigned from the party alleged that Daniel Das has been carrying out 'dalal raj' in the district and is involved in several illegal activities due to which a joint decision to resign was taken by the angry members of the district BJP party of Bongaigaon.
