    GUWAHATI: Phanidhar Talukdar, who joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday said that the poverty of his constituency made him join the ruling government party in Assam.

    “People in my constituency are poor. How long will I be in opposition and how it is going to benefit people of my area? So I joined BJP,” said Bhabanipur MLA Phanidhar Talukdar while speaking to ANI.

    Citing the reason for his leaving All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), he said: “I left AIUDF to work with the Chief Minister. There is no issue with AIUDF but I was hoping that they’ll be part of the government.”
