Former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Borah has withdrawn his resignation following the intervention of the party high command, AICC state chief Jitendra Singh said on Monday (February 16, 2026).
Senior Congress leaders, including Mr Singh and Assam unit chief Gaurav Gogoi, met Mr Borah at his residence in Guwahati after he sent a letter to the party high command announcing his resignation on the day.
Meanwhile, Mr. Borah told reporters outside his residence that he had asked the Congress high command for time to reconsider its decision.
Mr. Gogoi added that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had spoken to Mr. Borah and his resignation was not accepted by the high command.
“We apologize to Bhupen Borah if he felt hurt because of some issues in the party,” Mr Gogoi said.
