Assam Congress Chief Gaurav Gogoi Hits Back at CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Over ‘Baseless Allegations’

By A Staff Reporter

Guwahati (Assam): Assam Congress President Gaurav Gogoi on Saturday launched a strong counterattack against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of repeatedly spreading false and unsubstantiated allegations for political gain.

Responding to Sarma’s recent remarks, Gogoi said, “Himanta Biswa Sarma has repeatedly been spreading false and baseless allegations against me since February, promising to reveal facts on 10 September but failing to provide any evidence, and damaging his credibility.”

The Congress leader alleged that under Sarma’s leadership, several people in Assam have been pressured to sell their land and tea gardens, and that such actions reflect the state government’s misplaced priorities.

“The Chief Minister fears losing power and facing public accountability. The day he loses power, he will have to give answers to the public,” Gogoi asserted.

He further accused the BJP-led government in Assam of attempting to divert attention from pressing issues such as unemployment, inflation, and declining welfare measures. Gogoi said the Congress will continue to raise public concerns and expose what he described as the “misgovernance and fear-driven politics” of the ruling party.
