Guwahati, 15th March: Himanta Biswa Sarma, a prominent BJP leader, has issued a stern warning of potential legal action against Congress leader Pradyut Bordoloi.
The warning comes after Bordoloi accused the BJP of receiving donations from a state investor, ‘M/s Bright Star Investments’. Sarma vehemently denied the claims, stating that these allegations are baseless and devoid of fact, labelling them as defamatory.
The Assam CM also denied any commercial links with the firm and clarified that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in question is merely a philanthropic donation from the firm to the state government. This donation is being used to construct the Pragjyotishpur Medical College, which is currently under construction and will be dedicated to the people in the coming days.
The response from Sarma comes after the Congress leader accused the state BJP government of deep-rooted corruption in the name of Electoral Bond, expressing concerns about fraudulent development in Assam.
Bordoloi took to his social media handle to criticize the alleged corruption within the BJP, highlighting the donation from Bright Star Investments and linking it to the broader issue of political funding.
He posted, “As the Electoral Bond Scam unveils how deep-rooted corruption in the BJP is, here is a case of how fraudulent ‘development’ has played out in Assam! Not long before the house of cards comes tumbling down.”
