Assam Cong MP caught on wrong foot

AICC notorious for indecisive­ness’: Bordoloi to Rawat ■

- MANOJ ANAND

In what has created a serious embarrassm­ent for the Congress party, senior party leader and Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi was caught on camera saying the AICC was notorious for its indecisive­ness.

His statement was a part of his conversati­on with AICC general secretary and in-charge of Assam Congress Harish Rawat just before a press conference in Rajiv Bhawan.

During the conversati­on, Mr Bordoloi was caught telling Mr Rawat, “BJP has identified faces constituen­cy-wise for the 2021 Assembly polls. If Congress is serious about polls then we will have to act. AICC is notorious for indecisive­ness. They don’t decide at all. If we don’t start by December or January there will be no time.”

Warning that if the party doesn’t mobilise

things within a month or two, it would be staring at another defeat, Mr Bordoloi was also heard referring to Congress president Sonia Gandhi in the conversati­on wherein he claimed to have told this to Ms Gandhi that the party takes extremely late decisions.

“I have told as much to Soniaji… Madam, you take a late decision. Its like racecourse, faceless competitio­n is no longer an option, ” said Mr Bordoloi, adding that people in Assam are thinking whether Congress will be able to form next government.
