Assam CM Sarma Slams Congress, Says Politics Has Become ‘Soft Naxalite’
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized the politics of the Congress party, stating that it has turned into soft Naxalite and is filled with left-leaning individuals. Sarma questioned Congress’ deviation from Gandhian principles, asserting that their slogans no longer reflect the ideology they once upheld. The Assam CM made these remarks during a press briefing in Guwahati.
Sarma’s comments came in response to the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, organized by the Congress party, which faced protests during its leg in Assam. During clashes between Congress workers and Assam police, the Chief Minister ordered the registration of a case against Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of inciting the crowd.
Expressing his aversion to the tactics employed during the protests, Sarma emphasized that such Naxalite tactics have no place in Assam’s culture. He called out the Congress party for allegedly conspiring to incite a communal clash in the state. Despite these efforts, Sarma commended the restraint shown by their party members and Ram Bhakts, preventing any untoward incidents in Assam.
The Chief Minister expressed his confidence that the people of Assam would reject the Congress party and reduce their seat share in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He assured the public that the Bharatiya Janata Party would triumph with a substantial margin.
Meanwhile, the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which commenced on January 14 from Imphal, Manipur, made its way through West Bengal, with Assam Congress Chief Angika Dutta handing over the ‘tricolor’ to Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the party’s Bengal unit president.
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who is leading the Yatra, expressed his satisfaction in reaching West Bengal. This mega event is set to conclude in Mumbai on March 20.
As tensions rise between the Congress party and the Assam government, the political landscape in the state becomes increasingly contentious. The upcoming Lok Sabha elections will undoubtedly test the support and popularity of the various political parties involved.
In the midst of this political game, the fate of the Congress party hangs in the balance, with the Assam Chief Minister determined to secure a resounding victory for his party. Only time will tell which ideologies resonate with the people of Assam and shape the future of the state’s political landscape.
