Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma criticizes Rahul Gandhi

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a series of verbal attacks against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during a political campaign in Bihar. Sarma dismissed Gandhi’s allegations of "vote theft," suggesting instead that the political landscape is defined by a "stealing of hearts." He referenced the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya as a significant cultural shift.

Sarma also made controversial remarks regarding Gandhi’s electoral prospects, suggesting that since the Congress leader has struggled to win in states like Bihar, West Bengal, or Assam, Bangladesh might be a more suitable destination for him. Additionally, the Chief Minister defended the revision of electoral rolls, specifically the removal of certain historical names from voter lists, arguing the process is necessary.

In Chhattisgarh, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai also dismissed allegations made by Gandhi against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, characterizing them as baseless attempts by the opposition to mislead the public due to a lack of relevant political issues.
