Guwahati, May 19: Former Union Minister Rajen Gohain has stepped down from the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), marking another shift in his evolving political journey in Assam.
Gohain, a veteran leader and former BJP stalwart, had joined the regional party after quitting the saffron party last year. His decision at the time was seen as a significant political realignment in Assam’s regional politics.
According to party sources, his exit from AJP comes amid ongoing political repositioning ahead of the state’s changing electoral landscape. However, no detailed official statement has been released regarding the reasons for his departure.
Gohain has had a long political career, serving as a Member of Parliament multiple times and holding the position of Minister of State for Railways in the Union government. His moves in recent years have reflected shifting political alignments within Assam’s dynamic political environment.
