Rahul Gandhi Targets Assam CM, Calls Him ‘Most Corrupt’, Warns of Legal Action

Biswanath, Assam: Senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Sunday launched a fierce political attack on Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of being “India’s most corrupt CM” and alleging that he promotes hatred for political gain. Addressing a public gathering in Biswanath, Gandhi said that the Assam Chief Minister’s statements reflect fear of the Congress party’s growing strength in the state. He asserted that Congress leaders, whom he described as “Babbar Sher,” would take strict legal action against corruption. Rahul Gandhi further warned that the Assam CM could face imprisonment in the future, adding that he would eventually have to apologise to the people of Assam and Congress leaders. The remarks have intensified the political confrontation between the ruling BJP in Assam and the Congress party ahead of upcoming elections. The statement is expected to trigger strong reactions from BJP leaders, further escalating the war of words in the state’s political landscape. The BJP is yet to issue an official response to Gandhi’s allegations.
