Himanta Biswa Sarma

Himanta said this during a press conference in Bengaluru, where he is campaigning for the BJP. He said, "Even his mother is concerned about Rahul Gandhi how to establish him. Mrs Sonia Gandhi has been fighting a lone battle for the last 20 years to establish her son so that he can earn a decent livelihood."

Interacting with the mediapersons at the BJP headquarters here, Sarma questioned "why the Congress, which is promising to ban Bajrang Dal, did not impose a ban on PFI?"The Congress manifesto is similar to the manifesto of organisations like the PFI and other fundamental groups. The party had withdrawn cases of PFI which was.

He said this while hitting out at Assam Congress leader Debabrata Saikia, who has launched an attack on the BJP on the issue of a sizable number of Hindu families receiving notices to prove their citizenship in the last few days in Udalguri and Tamulpur districts. Saikia said that the BJP campaigns in every election about giving protection.

"The way Assam Congress has handled this matter is sad. They ought to have established an inquiry committee and worked things out among themselves. I had believed that the Congress should be dealing with this internally," he told reporters in the national capital.

Sarma said the defamation case will be filed after the conclusion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state on April 14. "Whatever Rahul Gandhi has said on Twitter is a slanderous comment," he said, adding that due to the ongoing preparations for PM Modi's scheduled April 14 visit in Guwahati he has to wait to lodge the suit.

A day after NCP chief Sharad Pawar flagged the Opposition's campaign against Gautam Adani, Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter linking former Congressmen Ghulam Nabi Azad, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Kiran Reddy and Anil Antony to Adani, saying, "They hide the truth, that's why they mislead everyday.

Kejriwal also criticised the Assam Chief Minister for his wife's decision to open a private school in the state. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor said: "I have heard that the Assam Chief Minister's wife has opened a private school where lakhs of rupees in fees were taken. This is very dangerous. If the Chief Minister's wife herself.

On Sunday, a section of journalists in Assam received calls from different mobile numbers, and on connecting, a message purportedly in Pannu's voice issued threats to Sarma. The caller said: "Pro-Khalistan supporters imprisoned in Assam have been tortured. Listen very carefully, CM Sarma, the fight is between pro-Khalistan Sikhs and the Indian regime."

Speaking to the media on the sidelines of an event in Guwahati, Sarma said, "When Rahul Gandhi in 2013 opposed the UPA government's initiative to allow parliamentarians to continue even after conviction for two or more years in a criminal case, we thought he has high moral values." However, according to Sarma, the current situation is telling.

Sarma, on Friday, also threatened to file a defamation case against the Delhi Chief Minister. The Chief Minister asserted that there is no pending case against him, neither before any court in the country nor in any agency. He asked, "Which case is there against me? I challenge Arvind Kejriwal to show a single case filed against me."
