Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma criticizes Dhubri MP over eviction promises

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has criticized Congress MP Rakibul Hussain regarding promises made to those affected by eviction drives. Hussain had stated that if the Congress party returns to power, land would be returned to those displaced by evictions.

Sarma responded by arguing that families who have lost their homes cannot be expected to wait decades for relief. He suggested that instead of linking land issues to future political changes, Hussain should use his position as an elected representative to demand immediate assistance and alternative land from the district administration or state government.

Sarma further mocked the political prospects of the Congress party in Assam, claiming the party might have to wait 50 years to return to power. He accused the Congress of making promises to minority communities without providing immediate solutions to their concerns.
