Congress leader and MP Gaurav Gogoi on January 22 launched a sharp attack on Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, alleging large-scale corruption, scams and the transfer of state land to major corporate groups.
Speaking to reporters, Gogoi claimed that under the current BJP government in Assam, valuable state land has been handed over to corporate houses.
He alleged that the Chief Minister’s involvement in corruption and scams is already well known to the people of the state.
“Under Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s rule in Assam, the land of the state is being given away to corporate groups. His alleged involvement in corruption and scams is known to the people. Our party workers will go from house to house and inform citizens about the corruption and scams that have mushroomed under his rule,” Gogoi said.

The Congress leader further alleged that various illegal syndicates have flourished during the present government’s tenure. Using a metaphor to underline his accusation, Gogoi said that even cows are not safe in cowsheds under the current administration.
“Cows are going missing from cowsheds. Coal and sand syndicates have been mushrooming, and Himanta Biswa Sarma has been involved in all these syndicates,” he claimed.
Gogoi said the Congress would intensify its campaign against the state government and raise these issues among the public in the coming days. There was no immediate response from the Assam government or the Chief Minister to the allegations at the time of filing this report.
