This is a major switch as Daimary has been one of the mainstays of the BPF party and had been appointed as the Working President of the party. Today, he cast off those robes and confirmed that he has kickstarted preparations to leave the party.

“There are some Parliamentary acts that have to be followed by an elected representative. After completing these formalities, I shall join a party,” Daimary stated during a press briefing that he had hosted in the Lily Hotel in Guwahati. The Assam MP said that he is legally paving the way to formally resign from the primary membership of the BPF.
