Guwahati, Jan 24: During a rally in Barpeta on Wednesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi delivered a fierce criticism of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, labelling him as ‘the most corrupt CM.

While addressing a rally at Barpeta, Rahul Gandhi said Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma is “the most corrupt CM.”

“The Chief Minister of Assam (Himanta Biswa Sarma) spreads hate all the time and takes away your (referring to the public) lands. He is the most corrupt chief minister,” Gandhi asserted.

Gandhi made similar remarks against Sarma on Thursday as well, the first day of the Assam leg of the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’. “Perhaps the most corrupt government in India is in Assam. You know what is happening here. We will raise the issues of Assam during the Yatra,” he said.

The Congress has accused the BJP-led Assam government of trying to hinder their Yatra since it entered the state on Thursday.

The showdown between the state government and the Congress took an unprecedented turn after party workers engaged in clashes as they were stopped from entering Guwahati.
