Assam: BJP MLA Shiladitya Dev resigns from party, to contest as an independent

The 2021 Assam Assembly election is scheduled to be held from March 27 to April 6 in three phases.
Meanwhile, Assam BJP MLA Shiladitya Dev has resigned from the party over not getting a ticket to contest the election. He said that he will contest the Assam assembly election as an independent.
He claimed that because of taking out flaws in NRC, CAA, and speaking on the issues of Hindu refugees, he was denied the party ticket.
Targeting the national party, BJP, Dev said, "time will decide if people are with BJP or not. The candidate which BJP has selected has a background of being a land mafia and other criminal activities."
"People of Hojai will not be secured in their hands. If Congress wins, it will become Ajmal's Hojai", he further added.
