Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday escalated his criticism of the BJP by launching a frontal attack on Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of being “the most corrupt chief minister in India” and charging him of converting the state into a land ATM for big businessmen of the country.
Addressing a large election rally in Bokajan in Karbi Anglong
Hils district in support of Congress candidate Raton Engti, Mr Gandhi accused the BJP of widespread corruption and favouritism toward corporate interests.
He alleged that the government headed by Himanta Biswa Sarma had allocated 7,000 bighas of land to Patanjali and 18,000 bighas to the Adani group, calling these decisions unprecedented and harmful to Indian farmers.
