Former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Borah has withdrawn his resignation after the party high command’s intervention, AICC state in-charge Jitendra Singh claimed on Monday.
Senior Congress leaders, including Singh and Assam unit chief Gaurav Gogoi met Borah at his residence here, after he sent a letter to the party high command earlier in the day, announcing his resignation.
