Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, launched a scathing attack on Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma during an election rally in Biswanath Chariali on Sunday. Gandhi labeled Sarma as the "most corrupt" and "hate-spreading" Chief Minister in India, intensifying the political rhetoric ahead of the April 9 Assembly polls. He asserted that the Congress party would initiate strict legal proceedings against Sarma once it returns to power, claiming the Chief Minister fears the party’s "Babbar Shers" (lions) will eventually see him jailed. The Chief Minister countered the allegations, dismissing them as politically motivated. This exchange marks a significant escalation in the campaign as both parties vie for dominance in the high-stakes state elections. Gandhi also utilized the platform to reiterate Congress's "five guarantees," including financial assistance for women, aiming to consolidate support among the electorate.
