Angkita along with former Congress MLA Bismita Gogoi will join BJP today.

On April 22, Assam police registered a case based on the complaint filed by Dr Angkita Dutta, former President of Assam Youth Congress against Indian Youth Congress President Srinivas BV.

In her complaint, Angkita alleged Srinivas BV of "harassing" and "discriminating" her for the past six months.

Angkita was later expelled from the primary membership of Congress for anti-party activities.

According to sources, apart from Angkita Dutta and Bismita Gogoi, several others including former leaders of the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) will also join BJP on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Assam BJP unit has organized a joining programme at the party's state headquarters in Guwahati.

Dr Angkita Dutta told ANI over the phone that she will join the BJP.
