Himanta Biswa Sarma not eligible to be CM, will be punished soon: Congress MP Rakibul Hussain

In a fiery political attack, Congress MP from Dhubri Lok Sabha constituency, Rakibul Hussain, on November 10, said that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is “not eligible” to hold the position of Chief Minister, accusing him of violating the oath of office.

Speaking at a massive joining ceremony in Dhubri, Hussain said, “Himanta Biswa Sarma is not eligible to be Chief Minister. The oath taken while assuming office is not being followed. No law may act against him now, but soon he will be punished.”

Earlier today, the Congress party witnessed a major boost in Dhubri as over 1,000 people from the BJP, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), and AIUDF formally joined the party in the presence of top leaders.

The event was attended by MP Rakibul Hussain, MLA Wazed Ali Choudhury, MLA Abdus Sobahan Ali Sarkar, and several district-level Congress functionaries.

During his address, Hussain accused the BJP-led Assam government of large-scale misuse of public funds and alleged that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had turned governance into “a spectacle of self-promotion.”

Criticising the government’s move to grant Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to six communities, Hussain called it a “politically driven” decision devoid of sincerity toward indigenous rights.

He further alleged that the state government had spent Rs 20 crore merely on the construction of stages and pandals for the Mukhya Mantri Udyamita Abhiyan (MMUA) events across Assam. “Why is the people’s tax money being wasted on such extravagance?” Hussain questioned.

The event marked a significant show of strength for the Congress in lower Assam and is being viewed as a morale booster for the party ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
