After ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ entered Assam, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday claimed that this state probably has the most corrupt government and the most corrupt Chief Minister in the country.
Addressing people in Sivasagar district after the Yatra entered Assam from Nagaland, Rahul criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), saying they were spreading hatred and looting public money. Have been.
There has been a political uproar after this statement of Rahul Gandhi. Now state Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Thursday that if Rahul Gandhi enters Guwahati city, he will also be arrested.
Sarma challenged Rahul Gandhi
While talking to the media on Thursday, Assam Chief Minister said, “We have said that there is no going through Guwahati city.
There is a medical college and a nursing home here. Whatever alternative route is sought, permission will be given but if there is insistence on going through the city, we will not make police arrangements. I will register a case and arrest after the elections. I won’t do anything right now.”
Assam Chief Minister described Rahul Gandhi’s Nyay Yatra as Miyan Yatra. Himanta Biswa Sarma further said, “This is not Nyaya Yatra but Mian Yatra. Wherever there are Muslims, they are traveling there.”
Rahul Gandhi targets Assam Chief Minister
On Thursday itself, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, “Perhaps, the most corrupt government in India is in Assam. You know what’s happening here.
We will raise the issues of Assam during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.” In the afternoon, Rahul addressed a street meeting at Debererapar in Nakachari in Jorhat district and alleged that the BJP-led government was committing several injustices against tribals, tea garden workers and other original inhabitants of Assam. He said, “Corruption is rampant in Assam. We all know that the most corrupt Chief Minister in India is probably the Chief Minister of Assam.”
Sarma’s counterattack
Countering Rahul Gandhi’s statement, Sarma said, “According to me, the most corrupt family in the country is the Gandhi family.
This ranges from Bofors in the country to driving away the accused of Bhopal gas scandal. The most corrupt family is the Gandhi family. This is not only corrupt but also a duplicate. His family name is not Gandhi at all. He is roaming around with his duplicate name.”
During his third address in Jorhat city, Rahul alleged that the entire family of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Vishwa Sharma is involved in corruption.
He said, “His children, he himself and his wife – all are involved in some corruption or the other. They think money can buy the people of Assam because they can be bought.
But Assamese people cannot be bought and no one can put a value on them.” After this statement, it seems that the war of words between the two political leaders in Assam has created a new rift between the two parties.
