Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi, accusing him of being fixated on Pakistan instead of offering substantial criticism. Sarma highlighted that Gogoi’s remarks reflected the Congress’s lack of engagement with governance and development issues.
Sarma responded to Gogoi’s accusations of religious polarization, emphasizing that the Congress diverts attention from its failures by bringing in external narratives like Pakistan. He reiterated his government’s commitment to development and cultural preservation, dismissing Congress’s politics as directionless.
The ongoing verbal sparring between the BJP and Congress in Assam, marked by references to Pakistan, is seen as a prelude to upcoming political contests in the state. The Pakistan references continue to fuel tensions in Assam’s political landscape.
