Two former Congress party legislators Ajanta Neog and Rajdeep Goal to join the BJP on Tuesday. The Expelled Congress MLAs will join the saffron party at its State headquarters at Hengrabari in Guwahati on Tuesday morning.

While former minister and Golaghat MLA Ajanta Neog were expelled from the Congress party on Friday, Lakhipur MLA Rajdeep Goala was ousted from the grand old party in October this year for ‘anti-party’ activities. State BJP president Ranjeet Kumar Dass will welcome Neog and Goala into the saffron party.

Last week Neog resigned from the Congress party and also from the membership of the Assam Legislative Assembly, following expulsion from the party. Both Neog and Goala on Saturday had met Union home minister Amit Shah at Amingaon in Guwahati. In the current House, the BJP is the single largest party with 60 MLAs, while its allies Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Bodoland People's Front (BPF) have 14 and 12 lawmakers respectively.
