Team under Gaurav Gogoi will deliver results in 2026: Rahul Gandhi

GUWAHATI: AICC leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that the Congress will sweep next year’s assembly polls in Assam. He launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, saying that he does not think of himself as a chief minister but as a ‘king.’

Addressing a rally in Chhaygaon, Rahul Gandhi said that the party has a new team in the state under the leadership of party MP Gaurav Gogoi, and it will deliver results.

“The people of Assam know the truth... There will be elections soon, and the Congress will sweep those elections. We have created a new team here. We have started the work, and the people of Assam will soon see the results,” he said.

Rahul Gandhi, who is Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, termed Himanta Biswa Sarma as India’s ‘most corrupt Chief Minister’ and said some day he will have to ‘account for it.’

He said that the chief minister has “fear in his mind, as he knows one day ‘babber shers’ of Congress will take him to jail.” The Congress leader accused BJP of resorting to cheating in Maharashtra Assembly polls.

”Some time ago, elections were held in Maharashtra, and the BJP engaged in blatant cheating. In the four months between the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, one crore new voters were added. We asked the Election Commission, Where did these people come from? Who are they? Show us the voter list and provide the videography. But... the Election Commission has not given us the voter list to this day; instead, it changed the law related to videography,” he said.

Rahul Gandhi urged people to be cautious.

”BJP and the Election Commission are working together. The Election Commission is not fulfilling its responsibilities; it is only listening to BJP leaders. We have repeatedly asked the Election Commission for the voter list. I wrote a letter requesting the voter list and videos, but received nothing. They only make excuses and do not do their job,” he alleged.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also addressed the gathering.

Gaurav Gogoi earlier told ANI that Congress in Assam will fight for justice for all people who were living ‘under fear’ and were facing persecution by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government here.

”The message is very clear that the Congress party in Assam will fight for the justice of all the people of Assam who are living under a regime of fear and terror. We will fight for the dignity of all people who are currently facing persecution by this corrupt and cruel BJP government. Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi will send a message that there is no need to fear,” Gogoi said.

He accused the Himanta Biswa Sarma government of “grabbing land of the poor.” (ANI)
