It has betrayed me.”“Congress works only for Miyans, but they do nothing for Scheduled Tribes like me,” alleged Daimary.He claimed that after nominating him from Udalguri seat, Congress did not extend any support in the campaign.Daimari said, “I called the party leadership repeatedly, but they did not even receive my call. I am hurt because they did not help me at all. The District Congress Committee did not help me.”He said that after waiting for a reply for a long time, when the reply did not come, the decision was taken to leave the party.Asked why he resigned just a day before the vote, Daimary said, “I have not betrayed the party, the party has betrayed me.” In the situation arising out of Daimary’s announcement, the senior election panel official clarified that the deadline for withdrawal of nominations has long passed and the names of the candidates have already been loaded into the EVMs.He said, “Actually, the polling parties have left for their polling stations.
