In a fiery address in Assam's Chaygaon, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of engaging in corruption. Gandhi boldly claimed that despite Sarma's view of himself as a 'raja,' he will eventually land in jail.
The Congress won't be responsible for putting him behind bars, Gandhi emphasized; it will be the people who demand accountability. The remarks drew a swift response from Sarma, who took to X to address the allegations and remind Gandhi of his own legal issues.
Sarma claimed Gandhi made similar statements at a private party meeting earlier in the day. Despite political tensions, Sarma offered his 'best wishes' to the Congress leader as he spent the day in Assam.
