Tezpur MP Ram Prasad Sarmah, who has been denied a ticket from the constituency, on Saturday said he will form a new party after results of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections are declared on May 23. His outfit will bring together disgruntled leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said. The BJP on Friday declared that Assam Labour minister Pallab Lochan Das will contest from Tezpur. The Congress has fielded former Assam bureaucrat MGVK Bhanu from the constituency. Sarmah had resigned from the party’s primary membership on March 16 after speculation that the BJP will field Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma from Tezpur. Sarmah, who has been with the BJP for almost three decades, had accused “new intruders” in the party of neglecting long-time workers. “I have been an RSS worker from 1976, the RSS is in my blood, so I can’t follow any other ideology or philosophy,” he had told News18 on March 17. “After May 23, I will form a new BJP, along with all the old members of the party who didn’t get their due. The veteran members of the BJP are now being neglected,” he said. “There is no question of leaving the party.”
