Along with him, 17 other members of the party, mostly from Upper and Central Assam also tendered their resignations on Thursday, officials confirmed. Gohain, who represented Nagaon parliamentary constituency for four consecutive terms from 1999 to 2019, submitted his resignation letter to state BJP president Dilip Saikia, stepping down from all party posts and primary membership with immediate effect.
