Political Scandal Unfolds in Assam: Land Grabbing Allegations Ignite Defamation Battle

Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi has accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's family of illegally acquiring 12,000 bighas of land across the state. Sarma plans to sue key Congress leaders for defamation, dismissing the claims as baseless. The political clash intensifies amidst allegations of corruption and land scams.

In a serious escalation of political tensions in Assam, Congress president Gaurav Gogoi has leveled grave accusations against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Gogoi claims that Sarma's family has illicitly acquired an astonishing 12,000 bighas of land statewide.

The chief minister swiftly retaliated, branding the allegations as unfounded, while declaring his intention to launch a defamation lawsuit against top Congress figures. Sarma argues that there is no legal basis for the claims, likening the accusations to mere propaganda.

While the accusations have stirred controversy, both parties stand firm, with Congress leaders insisting on more revelations and Sarma challenging them to substantiate their claims. As the feud heats up, it underscores the fractious nature of Assam's political landscape.
