Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of corruption and claiming that the people of Assam will hold him accountable. Addressing a party meeting in Chaygaon, Gandhi asserted that Sarma thinks he’s a “raja” but will soon face the consequences of his actions.

“Fear writ large in your CM; he knows fearless Congress workers will put him in jail,” Gandhi said, emphasizing that Sarma and his family will be held accountable for corruption. However, it’s worth noting that Gandhi’s statement seems to imply that Congress workers will take action, whereas earlier in the report, it’s mentioned that “the people of Assam will put Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in jail.”

Gandhi also alleged that the Election Commission of India and the BJP are working together, claiming that the saffron party won the Maharashtra assembly polls by “cheating” through voter list revision. “They are trying the same tactics in Bihar, and will do so in Assam. We have to be careful,” he warned.

The Congress leader further claimed that the media is biased, focusing on corporate giants like Adani and Ambani, as well as the Prime Minister and Home Minister. “The media are not our friend anymore; they are not revealing the truth, but only showing Adani, Ambani, CM, Modi and Shah,” he said.

Despite these challenges, Gandhi expressed confidence that the Congress will sweep the upcoming assembly polls in Assam. “There is a fight of ideologies in the country; the hatred and violence of the RSS versus the truth and non-violence of the Congress,” he said.

Gandhi also highlighted the growing economic divide in the country, saying, “There are two Hindustans now: one of a few billionaires who host lavish weddings, and the other of common people burdened with tax and inflation.”
