Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for focusing on personal attacks instead of governance, development, and youth employment in the state. She expressed disapproval of targeting families and children with false allegations, emphasizing the need for job opportunities for Assam’s youth. Gandhi accused the Chief Minister of fear-mongering as the Assembly elections approach.
Gandhi defended Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, describing him as a positive leader committed to value-based politics. She refuted Sarma’s allegations of Gogoi’s links to Pakistan, stating that such claims would not be believed by the people of Assam. Gandhi also urged political parties to refrain from involving popular Assamese singer Zubeen Garg in political disputes, highlighting his significance as a cultural icon.
Emphasizing the Congress party’s focus on addressing common issues like unemployment, inflation, and development, Gandhi declared readiness to contest the elections against the ruling BJP with respect, values, and a people-centric approach.
