Something is bothering Himanta Biswa Sarma...he is scared: Gaurav Gogoi

In a sharp rebuttal to allegations made by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma against his wife, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi launched a scathing attack, accusing the CM of being "scared" of the 2026 Assembly elections and predicting his defeat.

Speaking to the media, Gogoi stated, "People of Assam saw the Chief Minister’s face yesterday. Look at his eyes—it was clear that something was amiss. There is something that is bothering the CM, and it is natural because he is scared. He changes his stand every day out of fear."

He further claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is feeling pressured by the upcoming elections. 

"Congress' stand is clear. If they have to investigate anything, they can. We stand firm. The fear among them is due to the elections that will be held 12 months from now. Their defeat is imminent, and he knows this. He knows that he will lose his post. So, he is scared for his own future when the Congress government will be formed in Assam," he asserted.

Gogoi accused Sarma of evading accountability over the past decade.

"For 10 years, the people of Assam questioned the state government, but they did not get even one reply. In the last four and a half years, the people of Assam have been questioning Himanta Biswa Sarma, but he did not answer even one question. But he will have to answer after the 2026 elections. He has doubts in his mind today."

Asserting Congress’ strategy for the upcoming elections, he said, "In these 12 months, Congress will go to the people with a united front and raise their issues. At the end, the people of Assam will win."

On the legal front, Gogoi revealed that the Congress party has already initiated consultations over the allegations. "We have already had a discussion with the legal team of AICC yesterday. We will be taking the next steps forward, but the preliminary discussions have already taken place," he confirmed.

The political battle between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress in Assam is intensifying as the 2026 elections approach, setting the stage for a heated contest.
