Bharat Chandra Narah, the MLA of Nowboicha in Assam’s Lakhimpur district, resigned from the Congress on Monday.

The resignation comes two days after the Congress announced Uday Shankar Hazarika as its candidate for the Lakhimpur Lok Sabha seat. Narah was hopeful that his party would nominate his wife Ranee Narah, a former Union minister, for the seat.
