In a fiery exchange of words, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has publicly accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of being a “liar” and spreading misinformation. The confrontation between the two political heavyweights comes ahead of crucial Lok Sabha elections in the state.
Sarma, who has emerged as a key figure in Assam politics, minced no words in his criticism of Rahul Gandhi, alleging that the Congress leader has a penchant for distorting facts to suit his political agenda. Speaking at a rally in Assam, Sarma declared, “Rahul Gandhi is a liar. He has a habit of peddling lies and misleading the people. The people of Assam are wise enough to see through his falsehoods.”
The war of words between Sarma and Gandhi underscores the bitter rivalry between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party in Assam. With both parties vying for supremacy in the upcoming elections, the stakes are high, and every statement and allegation carries significant weight.
Sarma went on to make a bold prediction about the electoral fate of a Congress Member of Parliament (MP) in Assam. Without naming the specific MP, Sarma hinted at an unfavourable outcome for the Congress in the upcoming polls. “I can confidently say that the Congress MP from Assam will face defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The people of Assam have seen the development work undertaken by the BJP government and will reward us with their votes,” Sarma asserted.
The verbal clash between Sarma and Gandhi is indicative of the intense political manoeuvring taking place in Assam as parties gear up for the elections. Both sides are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to sway public opinion and secure victory at the polls.
For Sarma, who has been instrumental in consolidating BJP’s position in Assam, taking on Rahul Gandhi is not just about scoring political points but also about reaffirming his party’s dominance in the state. With his strong rhetoric and unapologetic demeanour, Sarma is positioning himself as a formidable leader capable of leading the BJP to another electoral triumph in Assam.
As the electoral battle heats up in Assam, the war of words between Himanta Biswa Sarma and Rahul Gandhi is likely to intensify, with both leaders seeking to gain the upper hand in the fiercely contested political landscape. Only time will tell which side emerges victorious, but one thing is certain – the political drama in Assam is far from over.
