Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said that instead of resolving differences with Congress leader Sachin Pilot, Congress and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot kept its own MLAs in a 5-star hotel for 35 days in the year 2020.
Addressing a public rally in Kota, Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "Instead of talking to Sachin Pilot over their differences, Congress kept its MLAs in a 5-star hotel for 35 days. To gain power at any cost, Congress resorted to corruption. No party has done this kind of act." He further targeted Rajasthan Government over the prices of Petrol and diesel. "In Assam, the price of petrol for everyone is Rs 98 per litre. We are 3,000 km away from Delhi and in Rajasthan, the price of petrol is Rs 108 per litre. If the petrol and diesel prices and electricity charges are higher in Rajasthan, then think about the inflation here," he said. Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and termed the Congress party a "traitor" for promising a monthly money scheme to the people of Telangana but not implementing the same in Rajasthan. Speaking in Jodhpur ahead of the Assembly elections in Rajasthan, Sarma said, "Rahul Gandhi says that after our government comes to Telangana, we'll add Rs 2500 to the bank accounts of women. If you could promise that in Telangana then why don't you do it in Rajasthan where you already have your government? Congress and traitor is a single word and are not two different words". Rajasthan is among the five states that will go to assembly elections later this year along with Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Mizoram. In 2018 the Congress won 99 seats while the BJP won 73 seats in the 200-member house. The Congress led by Ashok Gehlot formed the government with the support of independents and the BSP. (ANI)
