Congress Demands PM Modi's Accountability over Alleged Corruption in Assam

The Congress party has demanded explanations from Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding alleged corruption under Assam's current government. Congress leaders have accused Assam's chief minister of significant corruption and have vowed to hold the current administration accountable in the upcoming assembly polls, citing economic stagnation and unfulfilled promises.

In a heated political climate, the Congress party has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address accusations of corruption under Assam's Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government. Party officials condemn the administration, labeling it a 'double dhokha (betrayal) government' and asserting its accountability in next year's assembly elections.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the Modi-led administration's 'factory of slogans' in Assam, and highlighted issues like unemployment, illegal land acquisition, and slow economic progress. The Congress is rallying to replace the current government, arguing that the state's development is hindered by mismanagement and unkept promises.

Before Modi's visit to Assam, Congress leaders, including Jitendra Singh, focused on Sarma's rising personal wealth and questioned law enforcement's handling of illegal activities like rat-hole mining. They accused the BJP of failing to deliver on key promises and said severe criticisms in Assam's governance are breeding public dissent, heralding an imminent change.
