During an election rally in Bokajan constituency, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi accused Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of being the 'most corrupt Chief Minister' in India, alleging that he is involved in a scheme to transfer land to large corporations, which he described as a 'land ATM.' Gandhi claimed that under the leadership of Sarma, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, significant land has been allocated to three major corporate groups in Assam. He further criticized the recent India-US trade deal, asserting that it favors American agricultural producers at the expense of Indian farmers and small businesses. Gandhi argued that this agreement compromises India's agricultural system and energy security, alleging that Modi has ceded control over India's energy purchases to the United States. He also called for decentralization of power in Sixth Schedule areas, promising that local communities should govern rather than distant authorities. The Assam Assembly elections will take place on April 9, with vote counting scheduled for May 4.
