Himanta Biswa Sarma Blasts Samaguri Violence: Unveils Congress’s Desperate Vote-Bank Tactics
A BJP rally in Assam’s Samaguri was marred by violence when unidentified attackers opened fire, injuring Barhampur constituency MLA Jitu Goswami. The incident unfolded on November 9 as the rally proceeded from Magurmari to Latani, with BJP leader Suresh Borah among those present. The attack, which disrupted the event and left multiple individuals injured, has ignited political tensions and raised security concerns ahead of the upcoming by-polls.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma strongly condemned the attack, expressing his outrage via social media. In a post on his official X handle, Sarma accused the Congress party of inciting violence, claiming it was an attempt to intimidate BJP workers, or “karyakartas,” under the guise of darkness. Sarma criticized Congress for their alleged hypocrisy, highlighting that they publicly uphold the Constitution while resorting to violent tactics in private.
The Chief Minister questioned the Congress party’s motives in the by-election, suggesting desperation to maintain control over their traditional vote base as the driving force behind such actions. He accused the party of stooping to new lows, not merely from fear of defeat but from a desire to cling to power at any cost.
Moreover, Himanta Biswa Sarma emphasized the importance of safeguarding the democratic process, reassuring the public that those responsible for the attack would face justice. He urged for measures to prevent any attempts to sabotage the democratic process.
In response to the violence, senior police officials have commenced an investigation to identify the culprits and prevent further incidents. This attack has fueled an intense political exchange between rival parties as Assam prepares for by-polls. As the investigation unfolds, the demand for accountability and secure electoral proceedings remains a pressing concern.
