GUWAHATI: Secretary and spokesperson of the Assam Congress, and chairman of the All India Professionals’ Congress (AIPC), Assam unit, Gaurav Somani, on Wednesday (February 7), said that the rumours and reports emerging on his joining the BJP are completely false and baseless.
In a statement, Somani clarified his stand stating that he is not joining the saffron party and would remain a dedicated worker of the grand old party.
“There have been recent speculations in political discussions that I am inclined towards joining the BJP,” said Assam Congress leader Gaurav Somani.
He added: “I want to make it clear that this speculation is entirely false. I will remain dedicated to serving the people of Assam as a leader and worker of the Congress party.”

The Assam Congress leader said that though his mother Sital Somani recently resigned from primary membership of the Indian National Congress (INC) and joined the BJP, it does not reflect his decision to switch party.
“While my mother recently decided to join the BJP, this does not reflect my own decision. I will continue to uphold my belief in the Congress party and support its principles and values,” Assam Congress leader Gaurav Somani said.
Somani further said that he will continue to work diligently for the welfare of the people of Assam and strive to fulfil their aspirations.
