Shocker in Karimganj as MLA Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha shows Support towards BJP

In a surprising turn of events, the political landscape in Karimganj has been rattled by the announcement of MLA Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha’s support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The move, officially declared on February 14th, has sent shockwaves through the region, leaving many wondering about the reasons behind it.

While Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha has currently only pledged his support to the BJP and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, speculation is rife about his potential full-fledged membership in the party. His departure from the Indian National Congress to align with the BJP has caught many off guard, particularly given his previous criticisms of CM Sarma’s governance.

During a press conference, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma hailed Dey Purkayastha’s decision as a significant boon for the BJP. He emphasized the strengthening of the party with Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha’s support, highlighting the potential for greater momentum in their people-centric initiatives.

CM believes that Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha’s resignation from his position as the working president of the Congress Party further underscored his commitment to backing the BJP unconditionally. During the press meet as the CM addressed the media, Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha was sitting right beside him.

CM Sarma expressed optimism about attracting more supporters to the BJP, citing a trend of leaders switching sides in recent times. He noted a decrease in significant opposition, with only AIUDF remaining as a notable challenger to the BJP’s dominance in the region.

The sudden shift in allegiance by Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha has left the people of Barak Valley shocked, especially considering his recent parliamentary criticisms of CM Sarma’s administration. The unexpected endorsement of the government by him reflects a significant change in his political stance, leaving many to speculate on the underlying motives behind his decision.
