Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, the wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has initiated a ₹10 crore (approximately $1.2 million USD) defamation lawsuit against Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi. The case, filed in the Court of Civil Judge (Senior Division) in Kamrup Metropolitan, stems from Gogoi's letters to Union Minister of Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal, questioning whether Pride East Entertainment Private Limited received the subsidy under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY). Gogoi claims that the Ministry of Food Processing Industries has approved ₹10 crore in subsidies for the company, which is linked to Sarma's family. In response, Sarma has firmly denied these allegations, asserting that neither his wife nor the company has received any funds from the government. He stated he is willing to accept any punishment, including retirement from public life, if evidence is presented against them. The case will be addressed on September 26, and it highlights ongoing tensions between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party in Assam.
