Assam CM Accuses Rahul Gandhi of Promoting China

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of promoting China and undermining India. Sarma's remarks followed Gandhi's comments about China's manufacturing capabilities. Congress leaders rebutted Sarma’s claims, accusing him of misleading the public. The exchange occurred amid ongoing political maneuvers and contested assembly polls.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of promoting China while undermining India’s global standing. Sarma made these statements to reporters at the Birsa Munda Airport.

According to Sarma, Rahul Gandhi projects China as the best nation, ignoring its lack of democracy and religious freedom. In contrast, Gandhi highlighted the need for India to improve its manufacturing sector to compete with China during a discussion with students at the University of Texas in Dallas.

Senior Congress leaders, including Rajesh Thakur, rejected Sarma’s accusations, alleging they are intended to mislead the public. Meanwhile, political shifts are ongoing with former Jharkhand politicians joining the BJP, and critical recruitment issues affecting the state remain unresolved.
