In a heated political exchange, Gaurav Gogoi (Assam Congress president) challenged Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to deny allegations regarding his wife's alleged multiple passports and foreign properties under oath on the Bhagavad Gita. This challenge came after Sarma denied the claims, asserting that they were based on false information from a Pakistani social media group. Gogoi questioned whether Sarma's wife possessed a Golden Visa for Dubai and if any family members operated businesses abroad. He emphasized that failure to declare such assets in Sarma's election affidavit could lead to the cancellation of his candidacy. Sarma responded by accusing the Congress party of attempting to influence election results with fabricated documents, which he claims his wife has reported to the police. Gogoi indicated that if Congress comes to power, they would investigate Sarma's alleged undisclosed foreign holdings and take legal action against any illegal properties linked to him.
