Guwahati, Aug 13: Expressing disappointment over the delimitation order in Assam, senior leader of Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and MLA from Amguri assembly constituency Pradip Hazarika resigned from all roles of his party.
This comes after the Election Commission of India (ECI) released the final delimitation order for assembly and parliamentary constituencies in Assam wherein it has dissolved the Amguri constituency, which he had been representing for several years.
Hazarika who served as the Assembly representative for the 103-Amguri Assembly constituency in Sivasagar district, submitted his letter of resignation to AGP president Atul Bora. Hazarika has resigned from the post of party general secretary, member of party’s central committee and all other organisational portfolios and responsibilities.
As per reports, the ECI's final delimitation order resulted in the exclusion of Hazarika's Amguri constituency, with its areas incorporated into the Nazira and Sibsagar Assembly constituencies.
