SIT probing 38 people, not just Gaurav Gogoi’s wife: Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on September 15 sharpened his attack on Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, asserting that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is scrutinizing a total of 38 individuals in the case, not just Gogoi’s wife. 

He assured that once the SIT report is finalised, it will be made public in full detail.

“People should understand how seriously the SIT is taking this matter. Not only Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi’s wife, but a total of 38 people were scrutinised. Hence, when the report comes, everyone will get to know who all the SIT has examined. I will take Gogoi’s consideration and will upload all the details on the website,” Sarma told a massive rally at Gurufela in Gossaigaon.

The Chief Minister was campaigning in support of BJP candidate Gosai Basumatary from the No. 5 Saraibil constituency of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC). Thousands of supporters thronged the venue, underscoring the party’s growing organisational strength in the region.

Praising BJP’s current position in the BTC, Sarma said the party was “very strong” and enjoyed the confidence of the people.

Taking a swipe at former BTC chief Hagrama Mohilary, who had recently claimed that  Speaker of Assam Legislative Assembly, Biswajit Daimary, could one day become the President of the United States, Sarma quipped, “If destiny permits, he may become Vice President.”

With the rally drawing a large turnout,the  BJP sought to reinforce its momentum ahead of the upcoming BTC elections, while Sarma’s remarks on the SIT report added a sharp political edge to the campaign.
