Assam: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma hits back at Rahul Gandhi

GUWAHATI: Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday launched an attack on Congress MP and the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, over his alleged remarks that Sarma would ‘definitely be sent to jail.’

In a post on X, Sarma claimed, “Take it in writing, Himanta Biswa Sarma will definitely be sent to jail—these were the exact words spoken by the Leader of the Opposition, Shri Rahul Gandhi, during his closed-door meeting with the Congress Political Affairs Committee in Assam.”

Taking a dig at the Congress MP’s legal troubles, CM Sarma further added, “He came all the way to Assam just to say this, conveniently forgetting that he himself is out on bail in multiple criminal cases registered across the country.”

CM Sarma also sarcastically extended his hospitality, saying, “My best wishes to you, Rahul ji. Enjoy the hospitality of Assam for the rest of the day.” The Chief Minister further said, “Rahul Gandhi visited Assam today solely to criticise me. He mentioned my name repeatedly in all his meetings. I must say I’m grateful because today he has elevated my political stature to a level I might never have reached had I remained in the Congress party. It is indeed a day of great satisfaction. After all, if Rahul Gandhi has chosen to criticise me, it is a clear sign that I must be doing something right for the people of Assam.” (ANI)
