In a sardonic tone, Sarma questioned, "Who would bother to attend a gathering to see Priyanka Gandhi?" He further quipped, suggesting that people would rather spend their time exploring the natural wonders of Kaziranga National Park, observing its famed rhinos and diverse wildlife.

Ramesh categorized Sarma and others who left the Congress as "opportunists," suggesting that their departure ultimately benefits the party by creating opportunities for committed individuals within its ranks. He dismissed Sarma's assertion that Congress members were flocking to the BJP as a "psychological game," citing strong responses from party leaders like Bhupen Kumar Borah, who filed a defamation case against Sarma for implying he would join the BJP.

Addressing reporters in Majuli, Sarma disclosed, "A considerable faction of Congress members in Assam is inclined towards joining the BJP. However, due to logistical constraints within the party, I have refrained from facilitating such transitions."

Addressing reporters in Sonitpur district, Sarma asserted, "I don't just say things. The duplicate's name, and how it was done—I will share all details. Just wait for a few days." He mentioned that he would be in Dibrugarh and, upon his return to Guwahati, would disclose the identity and address of the alleged duplicate.

Sarma, speaking on the matter, mentioned that the FIR has been filed, and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) will conduct the investigation. He added that Rahul Gandhi is expected to be arrested after the Lok Sabha elections, which are due in a few months.

During a public meeting at Goreimari in Barpeta as part of his 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,' Gandhi remarked, "They are jumping up and down now, filing a case against me. The case shows the fear in their hearts. They are afraid as people of Assam are standing up as 'tufan' and 'andhi' (storm) against them."

Sarma mentioned that commandos will be deployed along sensitive routes in minority-dominated areas that Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra plans to take on January 22.

A total of 42,85,745 new beneficiaries will benefit from the NFSA in Assam, with ceremonial distribution events planned across the state.

Apart from buffalo fights, Bulbul bird fights are also integral to traditional Magh Bihu festivities and had been on hold since then. Both events resumed this year, adhering to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) set by the state government.

Sarma asserted that the Congress wasn't deserving of such an invitation in the first place, considering its historical stance on the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
