Guwahati: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday criticised Himanta Biswa Sarma for saying that the “Congress should go to Pakistan” regarding ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra.’
Ramesh alleged, “He makes statements only to prove his loyalty to his new masters (BJP).”
“I don’t take Assam CM seriously, because he has to prove his loyalty every day after having been a part of Congress for 20-25 years. He’s a recent migrant to the BJP, so he has to make outrageous statements every day,” he added.
Additionally, the Congress leader referred to CM Sarma as “immature” and “boyish.”
He said, “I think the Assam CM (Himanta Biswa Sarma) is boyish, immature & he makes statements only to prove his loyalty to his new masters.”
Earlier on Tuesday, CM Sarma made fun of Congress and suggested that if the party wanted to launch the “Bharat Jodo Yatra,” it should do so in Pakistan.
He said, “India was divided in 1947 during Congress. If they want to start Bharat Jodo Yatra, then Rahul Gandhi should do this in Pakistan. What are the benefits of doing this Yatra in India? India is connected, and united. I want to suggest Rahul Gandhi to take the Bharat Jodo Yatra programme to Pakistan.”
