At a public rally in Biswanath, Assam, Rahul Gandhi (Congress leader) launched a strong attack on Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of corruption and divisive politics. Gandhi claimed Sarma is the 'most corrupt CM' in the country, stating that he spreads hatred and will ultimately be held accountable for his actions. He highlighted the cultural legacy of Assam, referencing figures like Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardeva and singer Zubeen Garg, who he said promoted unity and harmony. Gandhi criticized the current administration for allegedly prioritizing corporate interests over the welfare of local communities, claiming that land is being appropriated from locals for business groups. He also pledged to provide ₹450 (approximately $5.40 USD) as daily wages for tea workers and promised to grant Scheduled Tribe status to six communities, emphasizing that previous government promises have gone unfulfilled.
