Assam Lok Sabha elections 2024: Jonai Youth Congress President Mahesh Dal resigns

Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the Youth Congress president in Jonai, Mahesh Dal, has announced his resignation from the Congress party citing personal reasons. Simultaneously, Shankarjyoti Hazarika, along with 300 supporters, is set to quit Congress today and join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Majuli.
