Biswanath (Assam):
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday claimed that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s future is ‘dark’, adding that there will be no grand old party in the state by 2026.
“Voting for the Congress party means voting for Rahul Gandhi; voting for BJP means voting for Narendra Modi. Those who love Narendra Modi and believe that India is a Viswaguru will vote for the BJP in these elections. Those who believe in Rahul Gandhi’s leadership also know that their future is bleak. Even Rahul Gandhi’s future is also dark and that of his followers is darker,” CM Sarma said while talking to reporters in Biswanath on Monday.
“In the last one and a half months, you have seen a major erosion of Congress as many Congress leaders and workers have joined the BJP and AGP. I believe that by 2026 there will be no Congress party in Assam. I do not want that. I am commenting on Bharat Narah because I am not in touch with him. But I believe that by 2026 there will be no Congress party in Assam, they will survive only in a few small groups,” he added.
The Assam Chief Minister also said that many more good leaders will continue to join the BJP till the Lok Sabha elections and this joining process will continue after the Lok Sabha elections.
He also claimed that Assam Pradesh Congress Committee president Bhupen Kumar Borah will join the BJP in the first part of 2025.
“I have cleared two seats for him (Bhupen Kumar Borah). All Trinamool Congress members will join us. If I call the (Congress) candidate for Sonitpur, he will join the BJP. But I don’t want this. now the Assam Congress is in our hands. It’s like a fixed deposit, when needed, we will bring them. When it is necessary for Modiji we will take them. Except 1-2 blue blooded dynasties, all red blooded dynasty is ours,” said CM Sarma.
The Assam Chief Minister met Ranjit Dutta, BJP candidate for Sonitpur parliamentary constituency, on Monday evening.
