Rupjyoti Kurmi (born 24 July 1977)[1] is an Indian politician from Bharatiya Janata Party. In May 2021, he was elected as a member of the Assam Legislative Assembly from Mariani (constituency). He defeated Ramani Tanti of Bharatiya Janata Party by 2,446 votes in 2021 Assam Assembly election.[2][3][4][5] In June 2021, he was expelled from Indian National Congress due to disagreement of promotion of the youngster in the party and for his anti-party activities.[6] He joined Bharatiya Janata Party in presence of Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma.[7] He is the son of former cabinet minister, Rupam Kurmi.[1] He sparked a controversy in April 2023, asking to demolish Taj Mahal and Qutub Minar to build Hindu temples in their sites.[8]
