MP Gaurav Gogoi accuses Assam CM of defying the integrity of the Assembly and CM's post

 

Digital Desk: MP and the Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, attacked Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma harshly, saying he had degraded the dignity of the Chief Minister's chair and the sanctity of the Assembly.

Gogoi claimed during an executive meeting of the Sarupathar Block Congress Office on Tuesday that the BJP-led government is using propaganda to hide its failings and has not addressed urgent public issues.

Additionally, he claimed that the Congress is still dedicated to addressing pressing issues that impact the public, whereas the BJP only uses political hyperbole.

In response to a recent Assembly debate, Gogoi chastised CM Sarma for politely responding to a question about gifting gold ornaments to Rakesh Paul during his wedding, calling it an affront to the integrity of the Assembly and the Chief Minister's position.

The conference also included a dramatic scene when Amrit Kumar Burhagohain, a new Congress member considered close to state Congress president Bhupen Borah, attempted to enter the party headquarters with his supporters while chanting slogans.

The situation became unruly, prompting demands to maintain civility. Even when the order was restored, the incident highlighted internal divides within the Sarupathar Congress.
