Guwahati, 7th April: Assam’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today visited Behora in Bokakhat to rally support for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
During his campaign speech, the CM commended Prime Minister Modi’s dedication to developing areas surrounding Kaziranga National Park, stressing the importance of infrastructural growth to bolster tourism and conservation efforts in the region.
The CM affirmed, “whatever guarantee Modi ji will give, we will make it a warranty in our state”.
However, he didn’t refrain from targeting the Congress party, accusing them of soliciting donations under the guise of financial constraints while highlighting their alleged extravagant expenditures, including helicopter travel. He cynically remarked on the irony of the Congress’s purported financial struggles juxtaposed with their ostentatious lifestyle choices.
In response to Congress’s criticisms, he defended his actions and pointed out apparent double standards within the party.
“The Congress has nothing to do. They collect donations by telling people they don’t have money but travel by helicopter. But the Congress criticized the Chief Minister for turning around in a helicopter, saying he got promoted by taking a helicopter from a cow cart. The Congress has thousands of crores of rupees”, stated the CM.
Furthermore, he alleged that the Congress party possesses vast sums of money, contrasting their claims of financial scarcity with their actual wealth.
“The Congress manifesto is more closer to the people of Pakistan, if Congress contests elections from Pakistan then it will get a lot of votes”, remarked the CM.
Sarma emphasized that his campaign has been conducted with integrity and without personal attacks on the Congress, stating, “no one has campaigned as nicely as we did”.
