Congress leader Pawan Khera criticized Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for alleged corruption, misuse of power, and threats to the state’s cultural identity. He claimed Assam’s reputation has deteriorated under the BJP government, linking it to issues like drugs and cattle smuggling. Khera condemned the government’s failure to address tea garden workers’ demands and raised concerns about non-residents being brought in to influence elections, jeopardizing Assamese identity. He highlighted APCC president Gaurav Gogoi as a leader for a new political era in Assam and accused Sarma of relying heavily on law enforcement and the Election Commission. Additionally, Khera alleged that tribal lands are being allocated to corporate entities and questioned Sarma’s financial gains linked to past corruption probes that were dismissed after he joined the BJP.
