He is now set to join a new political party Asom Gana Parishad – Pragatisil (AGP-P) which was formed by a section of former leaders of AGP with their anti-CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) stand. 

Satyabrata Kalita said that he resigned from the AGP and gave his resignation letter to the party president.  

Earlier, Kalita met the Congress leaders at a Guwahati based hotel.
