Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region, Jitendra Singh on Friday targetted Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi over her recent visit to poll-bound Assam, stating that it looked more like a film shoot as she plucked leaves at a tea estate there in the off-season.

Further upping the ante against the Opposition party, Singh said the people of Assam have not forgotten the violence and the frequent strikes that took place during the Congress reign.

The BJP leader also said that Congress is left with no leader in Assam after the demise of Tarun Gogoi. In the 2016 assembly elections, BJP created history by forming the government for the first time in Assam ending Congress’ 15-year rule led by former chief minister Tarun Gogoi.
