Rahul Gandhi in Assam: ‘CM Himanta Biswa Sarma acts like king, but people will jail him'; vows Congress return

ANI file photo NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visiting Guwahati on Wednesday along with party president Mallikarjun Kharge for a one-day tour aimed at energising the party's Assam unit ahead of the 2026 assembly elections. Speaking at a party event in Chaygaon, Rahul, targeting Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, said, 'He thinks he is a 'raja', but he will not be in power for long. He will end up in jail — not because Congress wants it, but because the people of Assam will send him there for corruption.' He further said, "The people of Assam know the truth... There will be elections soon, and the Congress will sweep those elections. We have created a new team here... We have started the work, and the people of Assam will soon see the results." — ANI (@ANI) The Congress leader accused the BJP of trying to manipulate elections through voter list changes. Referring to the Maharashtra assembly polls, he said, 'The BJP won by cheating in Maharashtra using voter list revision. They are trying the same in Bihar.' He added that the fight in India today was between two ideologies — 'RSS' hatred and violence versus Congress' truth and non-violence.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Rahul also claimed that 'There are two Hindustans now – one of a few billionaires who host lavish weddings, and the other of common people who are burdened with taxes.' Earlier in the day, Rahul and Kharge arrived at the Guwahati airport, where they were welcomed by Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi and other senior leaders with traditional Assamese 'gamosas'. Rahul also greeted Bodo dancers performing at the airport. The two leaders began their day with a closed-door meeting with the party's state unit, including MPs, MLAs, PCC office-bearers, and grassroots leaders. They also interacted with members of tribal communities. This marks the Congress leaders' first trip to Assam since Gaurav Gogoi was appointed state party president.
