Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized the Congress, suggesting that many of its leaders are in contact with the BJP before the state Assembly elections. Sarma stated that he communicates with leaders from various parties and hinted that Hindu Congress leaders might switch to the BJP if given the opportunity. He highlighted the Congress’s internal turmoil and lack of clear direction, leading to discontent among its members.
Sarma emphasized that the BJP’s organizational strength and governance track record are attracting leaders from other political parties. He mentioned that people are drawn to the BJP due to its perceived stability, development agenda, and inclusive approach across communities. The Chief Minister also criticized the Congress, alleging a lack of confidence in its leadership and electoral prospects, evident through resignations and internal discord.
Sarma reaffirmed the BJP-led government’s commitment to development and welfare programs over engaging in opposition politics. He stressed the administration’s focus on fulfilling promises to the people of Assam, including creating jobs, enhancing infrastructure, and implementing social welfare schemes. The Chief Minister’s remarks coincide with internal turmoil within the Congress in Assam, marked by resignations and speculation about defections ahead of the upcoming elections.
