Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of corruption and divisive politics during a public rally in Assam’s Biswanath district. Gandhi labeled Sarma as the most corrupt and communal Chief Minister in the country, alleging betrayal and deception of the people of Assam. He emphasized that the people of Assam would not forgive the corruption under Sarma’s leadership and vowed that accountability is inevitable.
Gandhi also highlighted the legacy of Assamese musician Zubeen Garg, drawing parallels between Garg’s unifying efforts and the Congress party’s ideology. He praised Garg for his dedication to uniting people across communities and regions, contrasting it with the BJP-led government’s alleged divisive tactics. Gandhi reiterated the Congress party’s commitment to spreading love and harmony, denouncing hatred and division.
Accusing the BJP-led government in Assam of sowing discord among communities for political gains, Gandhi emphasized that such actions contradict the state’s cultural values of coexistence and mutual respect. He warned of legal repercussions for the Chief Minister once the Congress assumes power in Assam, indicating a strong stance against corruption and divisive politics.
Campaigning for the Assam Assembly elections has intensified, with sharp exchanges between the BJP and the Congress over governance, corruption, and political motives. The electoral battle is set for April 9, with the counting of votes scheduled for May 4, signaling a crucial political showdown in the state.
