The members joining the saffron party included former NSUI President Bibhuti Bhusan Borthakur, Netranjan Mahanta, among others.

Bibhuti Bhusan Borthakur criticizing the Congress party stated that he resigned due to the party’s secret alliance with the AIUDF. During the programme, while addressing the media, NEDA Convenor Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “The Congress leaders have always been hankering for a safe seat during polls. The party has always made use of the minority community as a vote bank. I urge them to stand up and protest for their rights.
