Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Criticizes Congress Ahead of Haryana Elections
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took a jab at the Congress party during a rally in Sonipat, Haryana. He compared the potential loss of Bhupinder and Deepender Hooda in the upcoming Haryana elections to the previous losses of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha elections.
CM Sarma said, “Jaise Lok Sabha elections mein Maa-Bete ka Dukaan nahi chala, mera vishwas hai Haryana elections mein Baap-Bete ka Dukaan bhi band ho jaega.” He predicted that BJP’s Nayab Singh Saini would become the Chief Minister of Haryana again.
The Assam Chief Minister also accused Congress of deceiving people by claiming that BJP would change the Constitution if it returned to power in the Lok Sabha elections. He stated, “The Congress party, along with a particular section of our society, said that if the BJP wins, it will change the Constitution during the Lok Sabha elections. In every state, they (Congress) said things that were only wrong but deceiving.”
Voting for Haryana’s 90-member legislative assembly will be held on October 5, with votes counted on October 8, along with Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan called for stern action against nine party rebels who are contesting against the party’s official nominees or supporting candidates of other parties. In a letter to AICC secretary Manoj Chauhan, Bhan recommended expelling these rebels for six years to curb indiscipline.
The Congress Party released its manifesto ahead of the Haryana assembly elections, promising free electricity, medical treatment, financial assistance to women, MSP guarantee to farmers, and a caste census. Key promises include 300 units of free electricity, free medical treatment up to Rs 25 lakhs per family, Rs 2000 per month to women aged 18-60, and Rs 500 for gas cylinders.
