Rahul Gandhi Labels Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma ‘Most Corrupt’

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of corruption and inciting division, promising future accountability for the state leader's actions.

During his latest campaign trail in Assam, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi leveled severe allegations against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Gandhi publicly characterized Sarma as the most corrupt Chief Minister currently serving in India, vowing that the state leader would eventually face accountability for his actions.

Beyond the allegations of financial impropriety, Gandhi accused the Chief Minister of actively fostering an environment of division and hatred within the state. In contrast to these policies, the Congress leader emphasized the historical importance of Assam’s cultural identity, describing it as a region built upon a foundation of harmony and brotherhood. Gandhi’s remarks signal an intensification of the political friction between the Congress party and the incumbent state administration as election discourse continues to heat up.
